Question:
He says: In the silence of the imam after the takbir of ihram and before the recitation in the loud prayers, should one recite the du'a of opening and al-Fatihah before the imam?
Answer:
There is no harm, there is no harm. You may recite al-Fatihah before the imam; there is no prohibition. However, it is not permissible to bow before the imam, and it is not permissible to prostrate before the imam. As for the recitation, there is no harm in your reciting before the imam or after him, or if he pauses during al-Fatihah, you may recite.
