If I catch up with the imam and there is enough time for me to recite the opening supplication and al-Fatihah, should I recite them, or should I listen?

Question:
If I catch up with the imam and am able to join him, and I am certain that I will be able to recite the opening supplication and al-Fatihah, but he will recite aloud after al-Fatihah, should I recite the opening supplication and al-Fatihah, or should I start with al-Fatihah, or should I listen?

Answer:
You recite al-Fatihah. You recite al-Fatihah before the imam begins his recitation so that you can listen to the imam. However, some jurists say that one should recite the opening supplication and recite al-Fatihah in the prayers where the imam recites aloud. They preferred this position, which is based on the view of those who do not consider it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah. The ma'mum. Yes, that is correct.
