The ruling on reading al-Fatihah from the mushaf during prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue is: Is it permissible for one who does not memorize al-Fatihah to read it from the mushaf? Likewise, if he does not read anything from the Qur'an. Abu Kufrah al-Ardh prayed with the group from the mushaf, and he memorizes some of it. He said to me: Everything is permissible except with evidence that forbids it. Except? Except with evidence that forbids it.

Answer:
Reading from the mushaf is permissible, but if he does not need it, he should not read from the mushaf; he should read from memory. As for the one who does not know al-Fatihah except from the mushaf, he reads from it and takes the mushaf with him.
