The ruling on reciting al-Fatihah aloud after the imam had recited it silently out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In the Fajr prayer today, the imam recited al-Fatihah silently out of forgetfulness. When he was reminded, he began with the surah that follows it and raised his voice aloud. Does he have to recite al-Fatihah again, or is his action valid?
The Shaykh:
He must recite al-Fatihah aloud, raising his voice so that the ma'mum (those praying behind him) can hear it. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Their prayers are invalid and need to be repeated. Yes.
