Ruling on Reciting al-Fatihah Before the Imam in the Audible Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on reciting al-Fatihah before the imam in the audible prayer?
There is nothing wrong with this,Meaning: There is nothing wrong with reciting al-Fatihah before the imam recites it. This often happens when the imam prolongs the opening supplication, and some of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) end up reciting it before him. However, it is better to recite it after the imam has finished reciting it, so that you listen to the recitation of al-Fatihah with your imam, and then you recite al-Fatihah, even if he is still reciting.
