When does the ma'mum recite al-Fatihah in the loud prayers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions, he says: If I am a ma'mum in a loud prayer, when do I recite al-Fatihah and whatever of the Qur'an is easy for me? Do I recite while the imam is reciting, or what do I do?

Answer:
If he has a pause, you recite during the pause. If he has no pause, you recite, even if he is reciting. You recite al-Fatihah, then you listen; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Perhaps you recite behind your imam?لعلكم تقرؤون خلف إمامكم؟
Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani)
We said: Yes. He said:
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 بها
Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani)
.
This authentic hadith indicates that the ma'mum recites al-Fatihah and then listens in the loud prayers. If the imam has a pause after al-Fatihah, you recite al-Fatihah during the pause. If he has no pause, you recite even if he is reciting. You recite al-Fatihah, then you listen. And if it is in the silent prayers, namely Zuhr and 'Asr, you recite the additional portion along with al-Fatihah in the first and second rak'ahs. You recite whatever is easy for you. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, may the Shaykh be respected.
