Is it prescribed for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah if the imam pauses for a long time at the beginning of the prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the imam pauses for a long time before reciting al-Fatihah aloud, am I permitted to recite al-Fatihah before he recites it and before he raises his voice?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. You may recite al-Fatihah during the imam's pauses, either before the imam recites or after him, because this does not harm the precedence. This does not harm the precedence, just as precedence in the takbir or in the actions does not, such as bowing before him or prostrating before him. Precedence in recitation does not harm. Yes.
