The ruling on reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam in the loud prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner, Adel, says: I am very troubled because some of the imams of the mosques do not give me the opportunity to recite al-Fatihah in the loud prayers of Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. So I read the hadith:
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتاب
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam)


Answer:
Yes, strive to recite al-Fatihah as much as you can. If you are unable to complete it, then the imam's recitation is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
