The Ruling on Reciting al-Fatihah Behind the Imam in the Audible Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding this, the questioner says: If the imam does not give us a chance to recite it after al-Fatihah, do we continue without reciting it, or do we recite it silently?
Answer:
Recite it during the imam’s pauses, as much as you are able to do so. This is if the imam recites aloud. Do not recite while the imam is reciting aloud. As for the silent prayers, recite it; there is no harm in that. In fact, it is obligatory for you to recite it in the silent prayers. As for the audible prayers, if the imam recites aloud, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-A'raf 7:204] This verse was revealed regarding prayer. So if you are unable to recite it because of the imam’s loud recitation and he does not leave you a chance, or if you arrive late at the time of bowing, then the recitation of al-Fatihah is dropped from you. Yes.
