The Ruling on the One Praying Behind the Imam If He Forgets to Recite al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdullah is with us on the line, please go ahead, Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. I joined the imam in the third rak'ah of the Maghrib prayer and forgot to recite al-Fatihah. Do I have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness?

Answer:
The imam's recitation is sufficient. If you joined the imam, his recitation is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
