May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on starting with al-Fatihah before the imam?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; there is nothing wrong with the recitation. However, bowing and prostration must be after the imam, and the takbir must be after the imam. As for reciting al-Fatihah, it is permissible to start it before the imam, but he should not raise his voice in a way that disturbs those around him or disturbs the imam. Yes.
