The questioner : May Allah have mercy on you and on me, O Shaykh. If a worshiper enters the prayer with the imam while he is reciting al-Fatihah, does he recite the opening supplication?
The Shaykh : If so.
The questioner : If a worshiper enters the prayer with the imam while he is reciting al-Fatihah.
The Shaykh : While he is reciting al-Fatihah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The imam.
The questioner : Yes, does he recite the supplication of opening? Does he recite the opening supplication?
The Shaykh : If a man enters the prayer with the imam while the imam is reciting al-Fatihah, he should remain silent, say the takbir, and remain silent. When the imam finishes al-Fatihah, he should recite the opening supplication and then recite al-Fatihah.
As for if he enters with the imam after the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah and is reciting the surah that follows, in this case he recites al-Fatihah and does not recite the opening supplication. This is because there is no place for the opening supplication in this situation, as the imam, if he is reciting, does not recite while the worshiper is reciting except al-Fatihah of the Book.
Accordingly, this is the detailed ruling: if he enters while the imam is reciting al-Fatihah, he remains silent. When the imam finishes al-Fatihah, he recites the opening supplication and then recites al-Fatihah. If he enters with the imam after the imam has finished reciting al-Fatihah and is reciting another surah, he says the takbir and then recites al-Fatihah without the opening supplication, because there is no place for the opening supplication in this case. Yes.
The Shaykh : If so.
