Question:
What is the ruling on praying behind an imam who reads so quickly that we barely understand what he is reciting in al-Fatihah and whatever is easy of the Qur'an?
Answer:
If he neglects the recitation of al-Fatihah, then the prayer behind him is not valid. However, if he is quick but does not neglect or drop any of the letters, there is no harm, provided that he is careful with the recitation.
