Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for the imam to recite "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim" audibly before reciting al-Fatihah?
Answer:
Answer: This follows the school of jurisprudence of the country in which he is. If the country follows a school that does not recite al-Fatihah audibly, he should not contradict them, because it causes confusion for the people. However, if he is in a country where their school recites the Basmala audibly, he should recite it audibly.
