The time for the follower to recite al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A message has reached the program from Jordan, sent by our brother Hasan Husayn Salim Abu Rayash. Our brother says: Is it permissible to recite al-Fatihah with the imam in the loud prayers, given that the imam does not leave any opportunity for the followers to recite it, but rather begins reciting the Qur'an immediately after the followers finish saying "Ameen"? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.
Answer: Yes, the follower recites al-Fatihah even if the imam is reciting, because he is commanded to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam), agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani). So the follower should recite it if the imam pauses, reciting it during his pause. And if the imam is reciting, he recites it while the imam is reciting, then he listens, acting in accordance with all the hadiths. He listens after reciting it, and there is no blame on him for that, and this is the correct view. Some scholars said that it is dropped from him, and they argued with a weak hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:313. But it is a weak hadith according to the scholars. The correct view is that the follower recites during the imam's pauses if he pauses, and if not, let him recite even if the imam is reciting, then he listens. This is the preferred view, and this is the correct view. Yes.
Answer: Yes, the follower recites al-Fatihah even if the imam is reciting, because he is commanded to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتابPerhaps you recite behind your imam? We replied: Yes, it is so, Messenger of Allah. 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.
لعلكم تقرءون خلف إمامكم؟ قلنا: نعم. قال: لا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتاب فإنه لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بهاWhoever has an imam, then his recitation is for him
من كان له إمام فقراءته له قراءة
