What is obligatory for the ma'mum if the imam bows before he has finished al-Fatihah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If the imam bows and I have not finished reciting al-Fatihah, do I bow with the imam, or do I finish reciting al-Fatihah?

Answer:
Bow with the imam, bow with the imam; al-Fatihah is dropped from you. Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came while the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, and he bowed with him, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order him to repeat the rak'ah. I hope you are all understanding, my brothers. Do not take opinions as mere opinions only. Yes.
