Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some imams in the secret prayers, in the third or fourth rak'ah, hasten, so the ma'mum is unable to read al-Fatihah completely. His question is: Does he have to perform a rak'ah, or is it sufficient for him to rely on the imam's recitation?
Answer:
He has no obligatory recitation. The ma'mum has no obligatory recitation; rather, it is recommended for him to recite. So if he is unable to recite al-Fatihah due to the imam's haste, he has left a sunnah (recommended practice), not an obligatory act or a pillar. Yes.
