AskImamDarul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam)
When praying farz prayers behind an Imaam, should one quietly recite al-Fatiha behind the Imaam?
Question
As above, the first two rakaats for example whilst the Imaam recites it aloud.As well as the third and fourth rakaat when the Imaam recites quietly.
Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, a Muqtadi (follower behind the Imaam) should remain silent in the standing posture. It is not permissible to recite anything in a standing posture behind the Imaam.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
