Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : Is it permissible to recite with the imam?

The Shaykh : Reciting with the imam is prohibited, except for al-Fatihah. Al-Fatihah is obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his Companions in the Fajr prayer, and when he finished the prayer, he said:

Ubadah bin As-Samit narrated: "Allah's Messenger prayed the Subh prayer, and he had difficulty with the recitation. When turned (after finishing) he said: 'I think that you are reciting behind your Imam?'" He said: "We said: 'Yes, Messenger of Allah, by Allah!' He said: 'Do not do that, except for Umm Al-Kitab, for there is no Salat for one who does not recite it.'"

لعلكم تقرؤون خلف إمامكم، قالوا: نعم، قال: لا تفعلوا إلا بأم القرآن فإنه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بها

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 311Sahih (Darussalam)

As for anything other than al-Fatihah, one does not recite while the imam is reciting.
