Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I am behind the imam in the secret prayers and I forget to recite al-Fatihah, do I repeat the rak'ah or do I say the taslim with the imam?

Answer:
The imam carries it for you. Say the taslim with the imam, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
