You can add that to a custom kerning feature. But your example is not contextual. It is just simple pair kerning.
And if you rally need context, then you need to use the extended syntax: https://adobe-type-tools.github.io/afdko/OpenTypeFeatureFileSpecification.html#2.e.iv

ok Georg, i’ll check it and get back to you.
you can make a ligature (rlig-dlig) it depends on whatever came before or use entry and exit anchor point or make it as a component

Glyphs does support kerning for Arabic fonts. And it does so for years now. As I said elsewhere, the 2.6 version has a but with it. It is fixed with the cutting edge version that will be release in the next few days.

ok, i’ll use 2.6, i love glyphs app george, thank you for that dear.
Georg, I have a problem with updates and no articles or solution until now!
I use 2.6 actually but I should join the website and download it and uninstall the old one and it takes time so any article solution or video … etc?
