Ruling on adding to the recitation of al-Fatihah for the follower

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it sufficient for the follower to recite al-Fatihah behind the imam, or should he recite a short surah in addition to al-Fatihah?

Answer:
In the prayers where the recitation is loud, no, al-Fatihah is sufficient. As for the prayers where the recitation is silent, such as the midday and afternoon prayers, there is nothing wrong with him reciting an addition in the first and second rak'ahs, reciting in addition to al-Fatihah; because there is no recitation there for him to listen to and pay attention to. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
