Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah, given that some imams do not give the ma'mum enough time to recite al-Fatihah in the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
The ma'mum should strive to recite al-Fatihah, out of caution regarding the scholarly disagreement and to obtain the reward. If he is unable to do so, he is excused, and the imam's recitation is sufficient.
