Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says in this question, Your Eminence the Shaykh: Is it obligatory for the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah in every rak'ah during the tarawih prayer with the imam, or is it sufficient for him to listen to the imam's recitation, given that the imam begins reciting the Qur'an immediately after al-Fatihah?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. Some of the scholars said: The imam's recitation is sufficient for him. However, the stronger position is that he recites. The correct view is that he recites al-Fatihah and then listens, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani) We said: Yes. He said: Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani) This is a general statement that covers both obligatory and voluntary prayers, and it is an authentic hadith, along with the generality of the hadith: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam) So the ma'mum recites al-Fatihah and then listens, whether the prayer is one of loud recitation or one of silent recitation. This is the correct view. Yes.

Perhaps you recite behind your imam?
لعلكم تقرءون خلف إمامكم؟Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitab, for he who does not recite it is not credited with having prayed.
لا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتاب، فإنه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بهاThere is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتابThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
