The validity of the rak'ah of one who did not recite al-Fatihah until the imam bowed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We pray with the students at the school, and in the first rak'ah of the Zuhr prayer, some of the students keep moving and talking, and they do not say the takbir until the imam bows. Does this count as intentionally leaving off the recitation of al-Fatihah in the individual prayer? And what is the ruling on this rak'ah?
Answer:
This rak'ah is not valid. If he sat until the imam bowed, he has missed two pillars: standing and reciting al-Fatihah. This is not permissible, so this rak'ah is not counted. Yes.
