Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on the ma'mum reciting al-Fatihah in the loud prayer while the imam is reciting?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars, and the correct view is that if the imam recites, one should listen to him. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204] This is in the prayer; the verse was revealed regarding the prayer, the loud prayer. One recites during the imam's pauses. As for the quiet prayer, one recites at his own pace, or if he did not hear the imam in the loud prayer because he was far away, he also recites. As for reciting while the imam is reciting, this causes difficulty and confusion for himself and for the people, and he does not benefit from the recitation. Yes.
