According to the Hanafi Mazhab, it is Makruh Tahrimee(close to haraam) to recite surah fatiha or any other surah when performing salah behind an imam.(Shaami vol.1 Pg.544)

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.
