The ruling on the follower who forgets to recite al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I forgot to recite al-Fatihah behind the imam, so what should I do?

The Shaykh : You should repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) so that you do not neglect the prayer and the recitation, especially if the prayer is silent. As for the loud prayer, it is not prescribed for the follower to recite, because his obligation is to follow the word of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy. فإذا قرئ القرآن فاستمعوا له و أنصتوا لعلكم ترحمون
[Al-A'raf 7:204]
