The ruling on the long pause after al-Fatihah in prayer for the imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the long pause after al-Fatihah, which is the length of reciting al-Fatihah or slightly more, is its ruling a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
What is established is that he pauses for breath, this is without doubt, for the return of his breath, this is without doubt. As for him pausing a long pause after al-Fatihah, this has not been reported, and there is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding it. Yes.
