Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people recite
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[Al-Fatihah 1:1]
aloud in the loud prayers, and they disapprove

Answer:
Sometimes there is no harm in it. If one recites it aloud sometimes to make it clear that it is a recommended practice, there is no harm. However, making it a constant habit has no evidence for it. Yes.
