The Ruling on the Ma'mum Reciting Al-Fatihah with the Imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask the Honorable Shaykh: This questioner asks about Al-Fatihah. Does the ma'mum recite Al-Fatihah with the imam? Since some imams do not give the ma'mum sufficient time to recite Al-Fatihah in the obligatory prayer, if the ma'mum leaves it out, is the prayer valid?
Answer:
The ma'mum should recite Al-Fatihah during the imam's pauses. If he does not manage to recite it, it is dropped from him, and the imam's recitation is sufficient in this case. Yes.
