The ma'mum reciting al-Fatihah in the loud prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the loud prayers, if the imam recites Surat al-Fatihah and then immediately follows it with another surah.

The Shaykh:
Hmm?

The questioner:
In the loud prayers, if the imam recites Surat al-Fatihah and then immediately follows it with another surah, am I, the ma'mum, required to recite al-Fatihah?

The Shaykh:
Yes, you recite al-Fatihah. The first one is the imam who recites what is in his hand. Yes.
