Question : And what are the pauses? The pauses are before al-Fatihah in the first rak'ah, and between it and the recitation of the surah in the first and second rak'ahs.
Answer : And slightly before the ruku' in the first and second rak'ahs. If the imam pauses at these points, he recites it as a recommended practice, not as an obligation.
