Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The silence after the imam recites al-Fatihah to allow the ma’mum to recite al-Fatihah, what is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; this action is permissible, even though there is no evidence for it. However, if someone does it, there is no harm in that, because it serves a good purpose, namely enabling the ma’mum to recite al-Fatihah and avoiding the disagreement.
