Does it come after the Imam’s response? And how do you reconcile the hadith “When he says Amin, then say Amin” with the hadith “When he saysSahih al-Bukhari 4475
Answer:
The response is a recommended practice. The response in the loud prayers after al-Fatihah is a recommended practice for the Imam and others. They raise their voices with it because it is a response to the supplication, for al-Fatihah is supplication; it is all supplication. Its beginning is supplication of worship, and its end is supplication of request. So they respond to this great supplication in al-Fatihah, and they all raise their voices, the Imam and the followers. “When he says Amin, then say Amin” means respond with him, as the Companions did with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Whoever’s response matches the response of the angels is forgiven.
