Ruling on omitting the saying: (Ameen) after the imam recites al-Fatihah]
Is it sufficient for the ma'mum in the congregational prayer to say: Ameen if there is not enough time to recite al-Fatihah?
And saying: Does Ameen hold you back? How long does Ameen take? How many minutes?The questioner: It is brief.
The Shaykh: In any case, the ma'mum must recite al-Fatihah, whereas saying Ameen is a recommended practice (sunnah),But with this, we say: Say Ameen with the people, for it is said: (Whoever's Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels, Allah will forgive him what has passed of his sins), and this is a great benefit,Say: Ameen, then recite al-Fatihah, and continue with it even if the imam is reciting; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from the Fajr prayer and some of the Companions were reciting with him,So he said to them: (Do you perhaps recite 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).
So say: Ameen, and recite al-Fatihah until you complete it.
