Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is what is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his saying
Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitabلا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتاب
Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani)
abrogated by the verse?
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attentionوَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا
[Al-A'raf 7:204]
.

The Shaykh:
The best thing is what Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah chose, which is the school of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): that in the secret prayer, it is obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah; it is obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah. And in the loud prayer, it is obligatory for the ma'mum to listen to the imam's recitation, combining the evidence, combining the evidence that has been transmitted. Yes.

The questioner:
Fadhina.

The Shaykh:
According to this view, it is obligatory for the ma'mum in the secret prayer, and it is not obligatory for him in the loud prayer if the imam recites aloud.
