Is it prescribed to say "Ameen" after reciting al-Fatihah outside of prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is it prescribed to say "Ameen" after opening with it?

Answer : And in my heart, there is some hesitation regarding this. Because I do not know that it is prescribed for the reciter, when he recites al-Fatihah, to say "Ameen" except in prayer. I do not know that a hadith has been reported on this. But if someone were to say that it is a supplication for al-Fatihah, and that saying "Ameen" in response to a supplication is recommended, then that would have a basis. However, my heart has not been at ease with this matter.
