The ruling on reciting with the imam in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to recite with the imam?
Reciting with the imam is prohibited, except for al-Fatihah, for al-Fatihah is obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his Companions in the Fajr prayer, and when he finished the prayer he said: “Perhaps you are reciting behind your imam?They said: Yes,He said: Do not do so except with the Mother of the Qur'an, for there is no prayer for one who does not recite it.” As for anything other than al-Fatihah, it is not recited while the imam is reciting.
