The Obligation of the Follower to Follow the Imam in Prayer

What are the rulings that the worshippers behind the imam must follow in the Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers? Do they recite al-Fatihah and a short surah when the imam recites, or is it sufficient for them to rely on the imam's recitation?
Answer: The follower is a follower of his imam in all prayers; he follows the imam because he was appointed to be followed. The follower does not differ from the imam, but rather follows behind him. When the imam says the takbir, he says the takbir; when he bows, he bows; when he raises his head, he raises his head, and so on. He listens to the recitation in Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha. He listens when the imam recites, and he must recite al-Fatihah only in the prayers where the recitation is loud, reciting it silently and then listening. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): In the last two rak'ahs of Isha, he recites al-Fatihah only, and in the last rak'ah of Maghrib, likewise, al-Fatihah only. As for Zuhr and Asr, he recites al-Fatihah and whatever is easy for him in the first and second rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr, because they are silent prayers in which he recites. Yes. And in the last rak'ah, he recites al-Fatihah only. In the third and fourth rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr, he recites al-Fatihah. If he recites more than al-Fatihah in the third and fourth rak'ahs of Zuhr, there is no harm. A report from Abu Sa'id in Muslim indicates this, for he (may Allah have mercy on him) reported . This implies that he used to recite more than al-Fatihah in the third and fourth rak'ahs of Zuhr. However, this may have been at some times, because Abu Qatadah reported in the two Sahihs that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used not to recite in the third rak'ah except al-Fatihah, and likewise in the fourth, in Zuhr and Asr. Yes.
