Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If I am unable to complete the recitation of al-Fatihah because the imam has already bowed, should I follow him or complete the recitation?
Answer:
Do not follow the imam, and the recitation of al-Fatihah is dropped from you in this case so that you do not miss the rak'ah.
