Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a pause after al-Fatihah so that the ma'mum can recite al-Fatihah?
Answer:
Some scholars preferred it. It is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as Ibn al-Qayyim stated, that there are two pauses: a pause after the takbir of ihram in which the opening supplication is recited, and a pause after finishing the recitation and before ruku' in order for the one praying to collect himself. As for the pause after reciting al-Fatihah, there is no evidence for it, but some scholars preferred it in order to enable the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah. Yes.
