The Stronger Position on the Issue of Reciting al-Fatihah Behind the Imam

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are many questions being asked, and they say: What is the position you consider to be the stronger (may Allah preserve you) regarding the issue of reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam?

Answer:
The position held by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, as I mentioned to you, is that in the prayers where the recitation is loud, he recites it; it is obligatory for him to do so. As for the prayers where the recitation is quiet, he recites it aloud. And in the prayers where the recitation is loud, he is content with the imam’s recitation and says “Ameen” to the imam’s recitation; this is sufficient. This is what brings the evidence into agreement. Yes.
