Question:
Sheikh Nasiruddin al­Albani Rahimahullah says in his book "Prophet's Prayer Described" that one being led by Imam in loud prayers (i.e. raka'ah when Imam recites loudly) should not recite Al­Fatiha at all but it is must to be recited it in silent prayers (i.e. when Imam recites silently). But opinion of many other major Sheiyookh is that reciting Al­Fatiha is obligatory in every raka'ah whether Imam is reciting silently or loudly. I have read both the opinions and daleel of both opinions looks strong to me. I am not able to decide which one to follow. Please clear this issue for me...Insha'Allah. Also please tell me a general ruling that a person do, should who is not knowledgeable himself, in such a situation when
he is unable to decide which daleel is stronger.

Fatwa:
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Favoring one Madhhab over another is a relative matter. So, what some scholar thinks it is more preponderant can be considered less preponderant according to others. As for this issue, we favor the opinion that says that reciting Fatiha is Rukn (integral part of the prayer) for the Mamoum (the person praying behind an Imam) regardless of whether the prayer is silent (Where one reads silently) or loud (where the person reads loudly).

Abu Dawood reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Perhaps, you recite (some Qur'an in prayer) while standing behind your Imam. They (the companions) said: yes. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), then said: "Don't do that except if what you are reciting is Al­Fatiha as there is no (valid) prayer for the person who does not recite Al­Fatiha."

As for deciding whether an opinion is more preponderant or less preponderant, this is left to the scholars, who understand very well the different pieces of evidence. So, if the person is not that knowledgeable, he should ask the scholars and act accordingly.
Allah knows best.

JazakAllah Khyran.

I always recite Al-Fatiha behind the Imaam.

Ma sha Allah


May Allah reward the OP and Sheikh abundantly ameen

Is it a must to recite Fathia behind Imam. What if some recites fathiat behind Imam and he has not finished before Imam goes to rukuh. Will one finishes or join Imam in rukuh

I have heard fatwa that the position in maliki madhhab is that reciting the fatiha/surah is not obligatory for the mamoun.

sure

Ma sha Allah

May Almighty Allah accept our act of ibadah and rectify all our affairs... Aameen �

that doesn't stop you from spending your entire hereafter in hell, where you would be used to Kindle the fire, as you flesh goes off due to burn another is replaced, that it shall be forever and ever.

you are harsh on him..... U don't know if he is gonna revert in the nearest future!

What in a situation the imam is reciting loud and likewise you and you findhed/he finished before you. Would you say Aameen 2 times??

OgaBuhari:
unfortunately it'll be the other way round.
The Word of Life says :
And you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free

so sorry your threat of hell will only go back to since you're devoid of the truth but rather it'll be so painful after you found out that you've being deceived through out your entire life on planet Earth and by then it'll be too late.

The day when you will find out you worshipped a man, who you called God, who you called son of God, you will find out it is all fabrication by your ancient leaders, Jesus(ASW) will come out himself to speak for God, as a messanger and as a prophet, just like several other prophet before him, who also came with their preachings and Revelations, and the last prophet, who came after him with the final compilation of God's word(Qur'an), You shall cry for another chance, unfortunately, after death there is no forgiveness nor repentance, you shall be thrown into Hell fire ( the Qur'an said thrown, not put not escorted not allowed). There your shall be forever.

Ok
