Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah behind the imam?
Answer:
The majority hold that it is not obligatory for him, and the imam's recitation suffices. This is the view of the majority. However, some scholars of hadith, such as Imam al-Shafi'i and al-Bukhari, make it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah behind the imam. Imam al-Bukhari, Imam al-Shafi'i, and many scholars of hadith make it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah, but he should do so during the imam's pauses.
