Reciting behind the Imaam
Question
Can I recite Surah Faatiha in quiet Salaah because I heard this is the opinion of Imam Muhammad (Rahmatullahi Alayh). Please clarify.
Answer
No. In all Salaah, whether silent or loud, the muqtadi must remain silent behind the Imaam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
