What the Imam Does After Reciting the Fatihah Aloud

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Sidi Mostafa Azzam

What is it recommended to do if one is leading after one’s fatiha when one is silent to allow those behind one to recite their fatiha?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

It is recommended for the imam to recite to himself Qur’an or du`a’, and Qur’an is better (Kashifat al-Saja, 69 (Dar al-Fikr).)
