The Imam’s Silence After al-Fatihah So the Ma’mum Can Recite It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed for the imam to remain silent after al-Fatihah so that the ma'mum behind him can recite it?
Answer:
He should pause until he regains his composure, but he should not prolong the silence to enable the imam to recite. Rather, the imam recites, and the ma'mum listens,[Al-A'raf 7:204]. Yes.

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا
