Is it permissible for the imam to intentionally omit the recitation after al-Fatihah in the loud prayers to clarify to the people that it is a recommended practice?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The recitation after al-Fatihah is a recommended practice. So if the imam in the loud prayers intentionally omits the recitation to clarify that it is a recommended practice and not obligatory, is his action prescribed?

The Shaykh:
No, it is a confirmed recommended practice and he does not omit it. He can teach it in this way, but this also confuses the people. So he recites whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an after al-Fatihah. Yes. It confuses the people, and he says the recitation is not obligatory. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
If a person omits the recitation after al-Fatihah and says, "My prayer is invalid, should I repeat it or not?" We say: No, do not repeat it, do not repeat it. Your prayer is valid, if Allah wills. As for intentionally omitting the recitation after al-Fatihah and confusing the people, this is not permissible. Not everything you know should be displayed to the people. The people do not know these matters; it confuses them, and they also form a bad opinion of you. Yes.
