  • Recite Al Fatiha Or Not Behind The Imam

    Posted by Abdullah Abbas on August 5, 2025 at 4:57 am

    Aslamulakium,there are primary 3 opinion on this:

    1)Hanafi:because of the ayah where Allah(swt) said(when Quran is recited listen carefully)so for this ayah you cannot recite al Fatiha if you are behind the imam,even in the silent prayer(dhur and asr)

    2)Shafi:Because of the hadhit of the prophet where he said (there is no prayer where Al Fatiha is not recited)so for this they say is obligatory to read Al Fatiha even behind the imam in all prayer even loud and silent prayer

    3) Malik and Hanbali: they say that in silent prayer you have to recite Al Fatiha and in loud prayer you remain silent.

    LOUD PRAYER (fajr,maghrib and isha)

    SILENT PRAYER (Dhur and ASR)

    So what is the correct opinion on GHAMIDI SHAN view?

    According to Ghamidi saheb, the third opinion is correct. In the matter of prayer, Qiyas should not decide anything. If Fatiah was not to be recited behind the Imam, the Sahabah must have taught it, then Hanafid followers taught it to their kids.

    So in silent prayer we read all Fatiha e part of the Quran, and in loud prayer we say silent?

    But why Hanafi think in another way’s?e I do not understand the last sentence of ypurs
