Explanation of the follower’s pause in reciting al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q421: The questioner asks: When does the follower recite al-Fatihah, is it with the imam or after him?
A421: He does not recite while the imam is reciting; rather, he recites during the imam’s pauses. So, if the imam pauses after al-Fatihah, he recites al-Fatihah, and if he pauses between the verses, he recites al-Fatihah between the verses, even if they are separated
