The ruling on the ma'mum reciting al-Fatihah in the loud prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the imam's recitation suffice in the loud prayers for the ma'mum's recitation?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. You know the disagreement. Some say that the ma'mum must recite al-Fatihah, and the imam's recitation does not suffice. Others say that it is recommended for the ma'mum to recite during the imam's silent parts, and it is not obligatory upon him; if he does not recite it, the imam's recitation suffices. Yes.
