Reciting al-Fatihah by the ma'mum after the imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence, father, is reciting al-Fatihah after the imam a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory for the one praying behind him?

Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah), because the imam’s recitation is sufficient. However, if he recites it, that is more complete and perfect. Yes.
