Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on saying "Ameen" after al-Fatihah in other than the prayer?

Answer:
In the prayer, whether it is a voluntary or obligatory prayer, in the loud prayer, whether it is voluntary or obligatory, they say "Ameen" aloud, such as the Tarawih prayer, the eclipse prayer, and the prayer for rain. Yes. And as for when it is in other than the loud prayer, they say "Ameen" but keep the takbir (saying Allahu akbar) quiet; the imam and the followers say "Ameen" quietly in the secret prayer. Yes.
