Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I join the imam while he is in the second rak'ah, should I recite the opening supplication or recite al-Fatihah directly?
Answer:
If there is sufficient time and it allows you to recite the opening supplication and al-Fatihah, then you recite the opening supplication, because this is the beginning of your prayer. But if the time is not sufficient for anything other than reciting al-Fatihah, then you begin with al-Fatihah. Yes.
