What is the ruling on one who says "Ameen" or "I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire" or "Glory be to Allah" while the imam is reciting in a congregational prayer when the follower hears verses that require seeking refuge?

The questioner : What is the ruling on one who says: "Ameen" or "I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire" or "Glory be to Allah," while the imam is reciting in a congregational prayer when the follower hears verses that require seeking refuge, glorification, or saying "Ameen"?

The Shaykh : As for the verses that require glorification, seeking refuge, or supplication when the reciter passes them in night prayer, it is recommended for him to do what is appropriate. If he passes a verse of warning, he seeks refuge; if he passes a verse of mercy, he supplicates. However, if he is listening to the imam, it is better that he not be occupied with anything other than listening and paying attention. Yes, if it happens that the imam stops at the end of a verse, and it is a verse of mercy, and the follower supplicates, or it is a verse of warning, and he seeks refuge, or a verse of glorification, and he glorifies, then there is no harm in that. But if he does that while the imam is continuing his recitation, I fear that this will distract him from listening to the imam's recitation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he heard his Companions reciting behind him in the congregational prayer: .
And by this we know that what some of the common people do, indeed we know that what some of the common people say when the imam says: , and they say: "We seek help from Allah," has no basis and should not be said. This is because the follower is commanded to listen in one aspect, and because he will say "Ameen" to the imam's recitation at the end of al-Fatihah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And in another wording: When the imam says , say "Ameen." So there is no need, then, to say: "We seek help from Allah" when your imam says .
