Remembering to recite aloud while reciting al-Fatihah silently

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, an imam in the Maghrib prayer recited Surat al-Fatihah silently, and when he reached the middle of it, he remembered and wanted to recite it aloud. Does he start al-Fatihah over from the beginning, or does he start?

The Shaykh:
No, he starts from the verse he reached; he does not repeat al-Fatihah. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Reciting aloud is a pillar, and a pillar is not repeated. Yes.
