The Ruling on Reciting al-Fatihah by the Ma'mum in the Audible Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If we are in an audible prayer, and the imam recites al-Fatihah in the first rak'ah, and as soon as he finishes reciting al-Fatihah he does not pause after it, but continues, is it incumbent upon the ma'mum to recite al-Fatihah? Or should he listen to the imam? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
He recites.
The presenter: He recites al-Fatihah?
The Shaykh: If he has not recited it, he recites it. Even if the imam is reciting, he recites while the imam is reciting al-Fatihah, and then he listens; because al-Fatihah is obligatory upon him according to the correct opinion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani) We said: Yes. He said: Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani) And from this, the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah is derived. However, if there is a long pause by the imam, he recites during the pause. But if the imam does not pause, or pauses only briefly, he recites al-Fatihah and completes it, even if it is concurrent with his imam's recitation, and then he listens.

Perhaps you recite behind your imam?
لعلكم تقرؤون 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 بهاThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
