Addendum: Is it correct that the general statement: (One does not recite behind the imam in the loud prayers) is specified by the recitation of al-Fatihah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... After the prohibition of it, it only indicates permissibility and does not indicate obligation; so His saying, the Exalted:
And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land فإذا قضيت الصلاة فانتشروا في الأرض
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:10]
This command to spread out in the land does not indicate obligation, but rather it indicates permissibility and lawfulness, because this command was mentioned to lift the prohibition that was mentioned earlier in the beginning of the verse:
O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا نودي للصلاة من يوم الجمعة فاسعوا إلى ذكر الله وذروا البيع
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9]
This command was lifted by His saying, the Exalted, at the end:
disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah فانتشروا في الأرض وابتغوا من فضل الله
[Al-Jumu'ah 62:10]
So this command does not indicate obligation because it came after a prohibition against striving in the land, and against buying and selling, and the like; likewise, for example, His saying, the Exalted:
And when you are out of the state of ihram, then hunt فإذا حللتم فاصطادوا
This lifts the prohibition against hunting:
as long as you are in the state of ihram ما دمتم حرما
[Al-Ma'idah 5:96]
So when He said:
And when you are out of the state of ihram, then hunt فإذا حللتم فاصطادوا
The command here is at most to lift the prohibition that came in the previous verse.
And so here is the hadith:
Do not do لا تفعلوا
A prohibition against reciting the Qur'an behind the imam absolutely, then he said:
Except with al-Fatihah. إلا بفاتحة الكتاب
This is an exception to the prohibition that indicates permissibility and does not indicate obligation, especially if we look at another narration in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad with a sound chain, which gives a strong indication that this command is not only for permissibility, but for the weaker form of permissibility, and that is his saying:
except that one of you recites the opening of the Book إلا أن يقرأ أحدكم بفاتحة الكتاب
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:355


The questioner :
Let not the believers take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers... لا يتخذ المؤمنون الكافرين أولياء من دون المؤمنين ..
.

The Shaykh : Complete it.

The questioner :
... except that you fear them for fear, and Allah warns you of Himself ... إلا أن تتقوا منهم تقاة ويحذركم الله نفسه
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30:498
.

The Shaykh: No:
except when it is إلا أن تكون تجارة
[Al-Baqarah 2:282]
I did not specify the verse for you, I asked you for the verse that contains this exception.

The questioner :
O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تأكلوا أموالكم بينكم بالباطل إلا أن تكون تجارة عن تراض منكم
[An-Nisa 4:29]
.

The Shaykh: Ah, this exception after that prohibition indicates permissibility, it does not indicate obligation, and so is the Quranic style, likewise:
except when taking precaution against them in prudence إلا أن تتقوا منهم تقاة
[Ali 'Imran 3:28]
Do you have the verse in mind?

The questioner :
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence لا يتخذ المؤمنون الكافرين أولياء من دون المؤمنين ومن يفعل ذلك فليس من الله في شيء إلا أن تتقوا منهم تقاة
[Ali 'Imran 3:28]
.

The Shaykh: Ah, this also indicates permissibility and does not indicate obligation; this is the summary, you have understood the answer.
Wafi: May Allah reward you with good.
Wafi: The other matter is also in the same question of our brother, and that is: if a person bowed down behind the row and the imam was in the last rak'ah, then he did not reach the row and the imam sat for the tashahhud; is it permissible for him to walk, or does he remain sitting in his place, and when the imam says the taslim, he stands and makes up what he missed?

The Shaykh: I mentioned this earlier as well.

The questioner: The tashahhud, as we mentioned.

The Shaykh: It is not necessary to do the tashahhud, I said that even if the imam says the taslim and he was unable to join the row, he has done the obligatory.

The questioner: Our Shaykh, regarding the recitation of al-Fatihah, even if he did not listen, if he did not catch up with the imam while he was reciting al-Fatihah?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner: He came to him while he was at the end, meaning he had started the surah after al-Fatihah, it also applies to him that he...

The Shaykh: What is he reciting aloud?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Okay, the statement is general.
