Issue No. 1275- If the follower hears sūrah al-fātiḥa and the other sūrah of the imam in the first and second rak‘at of the fajr, maghrib and ‘ishā’ prayers, he should not recite them. And if he does not hear the voice of the imam, it is permissible for him to recite sūrah al-fātiḥa and the other sūrah in a low voice. The follower should not recite sūrah al-fātiḥa and the other sūrah in the first and second rak‘ats of ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers and it is mustaḥab that instead of them he utters a dhikr.
