Does the ma'mum follow the imam in saying the ameen after reciting Surat al-Fatihah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If we say it is obligatory, he did not deviate.

The Shaykh : No, he never deviated, except that the hadith is:
When he says, "Ameen," say, "Ameen." إذا أمن فأمنوا
If it were not for the fact that he said in the other wording:
when he says: "Nor of those who err" you should say Amin إذا قال ولا الضآلين فقولوا آمين
Sahih Muslim 415a
we would also say that the ma'mum's ameen comes after the imam's ameen. And on this basis, the ma'mum in all states of the prayer is after his imam.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : ... follow him. If he had said the taslim with him, he would not have followed him, and if he had delayed, he would have been the one following. Khalid, three, okay. Is al-Humaydi's statement accepted or rejected, and what is the reason for its rejection?

The questioner : Rejected.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is rejected. What is the reason for its rejection? That it is possible to reconcile them. Yes.
