If the imam recites al-Fatihah and finishes reciting al-Fatihah, it is customary for him to pause briefly. Does the follower recite al-Fatihah even if the imam has started the surah that follows it?
When the imam recites al-Fatihah, he pauses briefly, but some of the scholars said: he should pause until the follower completes al-Fatihah,And some of them said: he pauses briefly and then recites, and the second opinion is the correct one, meaning he does not pause for a long time, he pauses briefly, and if the follower begins al-Fatihah, he continues with it and completes it, even if the imam is reciting,By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (There is no prayer for one who does not recite al-Fatihah of the Book) ,And he left one day from the Fajr prayer and said to his companions: (Do you perhaps recite behind your imam?They said: Yes.
He said: Do not do so except with the Mother of the Book, for there is no prayer for one who does not recite it).
