What is the ruling on the ma'mum saying "Ameen" after al-Fatihah if the imam does not say it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When the imam says 'Ameen'—meaning after al-Fatihah—then say 'Ameen.'" So, if the imam does not say "Ameen," does the ma'mum not say it?

Answer:
Yes, because some imams hold that one should not raise one's voice with the "Ameen," and this is contrary to the Sunnah. So, if the imam does not say "Ameen," the ma'mum says it in accordance with the Sunnah. Even if the imam does not say "Ameen," the ma'mum says it in accordance with the Sunnah.
