If the one who joins the prayer late fears the imam will bow, does he recite the opening supplication or begin with al-Fatihah?

Question:
Abu Badr from Riyadh asks: He says, if a person joins an imam and fears that the imam will bow before he finishes reciting al-Fatihah, should he recite the opening supplication, or should he begin reciting al-Fatihah?

Answer:
He should recite the opening supplication and al-Fatihah if he is able to read it; if he is not able, he should bow with the imam, and praise be to Allah, the imam’s recitation is sufficient. Yes.
