The Ruling on the Ma'mum Reciting al-Fatihah and the Imam Bearing Responsibility for It

Question:
This questioner, Abdullah, who is studying at the institute, says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the recitation of al-Fatihah, is it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah, given that some imams of the mosques do not give the ma'mum sufficient time to recite it? And does the imam bear the responsibility of reciting al-Fatihah on behalf of the ma'mum? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, the recitation of al-Fatihah for the ma'mum: if he is in a prayer of silence, he recites it. Likewise, if the imam gives him the opportunity in a prayer of loud recitation, he recites it as well. However, if he is in a prayer of loud recitation and the imam does not leave the ma'mum any opportunity, then the ma'mum listens to the imam's recitation, and this is sufficient according to the correct view. Yes.
