Clarification of the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever has an imam, the imam’s recitation is his recitation”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q405: The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:309 ?
A405: This is the evidence that reciting al-Fatihah is not obligatory for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam); rather, the imam’s recitation is sufficient. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:204] This verse was revealed regarding prayer, because the ma'mum does not recite while the imam recites and raises his voice, so he should listen and be silent for that reason.
Whoever has an imam, the recitation of the imam is his recitation
من كان له إمام فقراءة الإمام له قراءةA405: This is the evidence that reciting al-Fatihah is not obligatory for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam); rather, the imam’s recitation is sufficient. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنْصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
