The questioner : May Allah reward you. He says:The questioner : When is al-Fatihah recited in congregational prayer for the ma'mum? Does he recite it after the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah, or while the imam is reciting it? And what is the ruling on a woman reciting aloud in prayer, whether it is obligatory or voluntary?
The Shaykh : The ma'mum's recitation of al-Fatihah takes place after the imam's recitation, because the ma'mum's listening to the imam's recitation of al-Fatihah is more preferable than his listening to the recitation of what comes after al-Fatihah. The reason it is more preferable is that if he listens to the imam's recitation of al-Fatihah, he has listened to the imam reciting a pillar of the prayer. If he listens to the recitation of what comes after al-Fatihah while competing with the imam in reciting al-Fatihah, he has listened to a recitation that is not a pillar. It is known that listening to the recitation of a pillar is more preferable than listening to the recitation of something that is not a pillar. Based on this, we say: recite al-Fatihah after the imam has recited it, whether the imam began reciting before you recited it or not. And based on this, you recite while the imam is reciting. This is what appears to us. However, some scholars say: if the prayer is one of loud recitation, al-Fatihah is dropped from the ma'mum, because he is commanded to listen to his imam's recitation, and because many people are unable to recite while the imam is reciting, so they listen. This is the choice of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), that in a prayer of loud recitation, it is not obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah, but he recites during the imam's pauses. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. He says:The questioner : A group of people have a fund for car accidents only, and they collect a sum of money every year. Now the amount has reached four hundred thousand riyals and more. Is there zakah on this amount, since this amount is frozen in the bank?
