The imam bowed, but the one praying behind him did not finish reciting al-Fatihah!

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you. In the prayer, sometimes I am unable to finish reciting al-Fatihah, and then I see the imam bowing, but I do not catch up because of what precedes me. What is the ruling on this delay?

Answer:
Follow the imam, follow the imam, even if you do not recite al-Fatihah. Follow the imam and prostrate with him, and bow with him.
