If the imam supplicates for himself during the prayer, does the congregation say “Ameen” to his supplication?

Question : Shaykh, if the imam supplicates for himself during the prayer, does the congregation say “Ameen” to his supplication?

Answer : It is reported in the hadith: If he singles himself out for supplication, he has betrayed the congregation. This is betrayal. And this, Allah knows best, is the wisdom behind Allah the Exalted making al-Fatihah in the form of exaltation or in the plural form: “You alone we worship,” and not “You alone I worship,” even though the reciter is one person. This is because Allah the Exalted knows that this surah will be recited for many people. Therefore, you say in the plural. But in the other supplication that is said quietly, a person says, “I seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the Hellfire,” and does not say, “We seek refuge in Allah,” because this is a supplication for him, and that one is a supplication for everyone.
