Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the pause between reciting al-Fatihah and the surah that follows it in the loud prayers?
Answer:
Nothing has been reported regarding it, but some imams do it as a juristic preference in order to give the ma'mum a chance, and there is no blame on him, if Allah wills. There is no blame in it, because it is for a valid purpose.
