The ruling on the follower reciting al-Fatihah in the third and fourth rak'ahs

Question:
What is the ruling on reciting al-Fatihah in congregational prayer in the third and fourth rak'ahs for the follower, if the imam does not give the follower the opportunity to complete al-Fatihah?

Answer:
It is obligatory for the follower to hasten to recite al-Fatihah in the third and fourth rak'ahs as soon as he stands, just as he recites it in the first and second. He should not be lax; he should recite it continuously so that he does not miss it. He must hasten. If the imam says takbir and the follower has not completed it, he should complete it if only a little remains, such as one or two verses, and then bow. If he fears that he will miss the bowing, he should bow, and the remainder of al-Fatihah is dropped from him because he is a follower. This is like if he came and the imam was already bowing; he would bow with him and al-Fatihah would be dropped from him, as in the hadith of Abu Bakrah al-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, so he bowed before the row, then entered the row and completed the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: , and he did not order him to make up the rak'ah. So the follower is in an easier position than the imam and the one praying alone. If he catches al-Fatihah, he recites it. If he misses it because he did not come until the imam was bowing, or at the time of bowing, or because the imam was quick in recitation and bowed before he finished, and it was not possible for him to complete it, then that suffices him, praise be to Allah. This is the correct view. Yes.
