Question:
In the prayer, if the follower hears the imam saying:
It is You we worship and You we ask for help.إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
[Al-Fatihah 1:5]
, should he say: "We seek help from Allah"?

Answer:
He should only listen to him, and not say "We seek help from Allah" or anything else, but rather he should be silent; because of His saying, the Exalted:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنْصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
[Al-A'raf: 204].
