What is the Shaykh al-Islam's position on the ma'mum reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh asks: What is the Shaykh al-Islam's view on the ma'mum reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam? His view is summarized as follows: if the prayer is silent, the ma'mum recites al-Fatihah because he does not hear

Answer:
the imam. However, if the prayer is loud, he does not recite it when the imam recites. This is the summary of Shaykh Sa'id's opinion.
In his treatise in which he discussed al-Bukhari, because al-Bukhari has a book titled *Juz' al-Qira'ah Khalal al-Imam* (The Chapter on Recitation Behind the Imam). Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) made it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah in all cases. The Shaykh al-Islam discussed him in this treatise, and the Shaykh's treatise is found in the *Fatawa*. His opinion is summarized as follows: if the prayer is loud, he does not recite it, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: But if the prayer is silent and he does not hear the imam, he recites al-Fatihah.
Because Allah only commanded listening when the Qur'an is recited, meaning when one hears the imam. But if he does not hear, the ma'mum recites because there is no harm in that. This is the position of Malik, and this is the correct view, if Allah wills.
