The questioner : A questioner says: If a follower prays with the imam and does not recite al-Fatihah because he forgot, does the follower repeat the rak'ah or what does he do?
The Shaykh : What we see is that he repeats the rak'ah. If a follower does not recite al-Fatihah with the imam because he forgot, he repeats the rak'ah, because al-Fatihah is not waived for the follower unless he catches the imam while he is bowing.
