If one catches the imam in bowing, what is the ruling on his prayer if he has not recited al-Fatihah?

The questioner : I arrived while the imam was bowing, so I said the takbir and bowed, but I did not recite al-Fatihah. What is the ruling on this, in light of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): ?

The Shaykh : Your prayer is complete and valid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: . This is the one who approved Abu Bakrah when he entered while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was bowing, and he bowed, and he said to him: . He did not order him to repeat the rak'ah, and because this person did not catch the standing, which is the place of recitation. Yes.
