What is meant by reciting al-Fatihah during the imam's pauses?

Question:
Does reciting al-Fatihah during the imam's pauses refer to the imam's pauses while reciting al-Fatihah, or while reciting whatever is easy after al-Fatihah, or the pause that occurs between reciting al-Fatihah and reciting a surah after it?

Answer:
The intended meaning is that the ma'mum recites al-Fatihah in any pause the imam makes in al-Fatihah or after it, or in the surah that follows it. If the imam does not pause, it is obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah even while the imam is reciting, according to the more correct of the two opinions of the scholars, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): We said: Yes. He said: It was narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi with a sound chain, and its original source is in the two Sahihs from the hadith of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: .
However, if the ma'mum catches up with the imam in ruku' or at the time of ruku', al-Fatihah is dropped from him, based on what al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) , that he came to the mosque and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in ruku', so he performed ruku' before reaching the row, then entered the row. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him after the taslim: , and he did not order him to make up the rak'ah. This indicates that reciting al-Fatihah is dropped from the ma'mum if he is unable to do so because he came to the mosque and the imam was in ruku', or at the beginning of his ruku'. This ruling also applies if the ma'mum forgets al-Fatihah or is ignorant of the ruling and does not recite it, according to those who made it obligatory for the ma'mum, because the one who forgets and the one who is ignorant in this ruling are like the one who came while the imam was in ruku', or they are more deserving of an excuse than he is. And Allah is the guarantor of success.
