Should the Imam Say “Amin” Loudly After Finishing the Recitation of the Fatiha? [Shafi’i]

Answered by Shaykh Abdurragmaan Khan

Question: Assalam aleykum,

Should the Imam say “Amin” loudly after finishing the recitation of the Fatiha during the first two cycles of Maghreb, Isha and Fajr?

Answer:

Wa alaykum salam

I pray you are well and enjoying Allah’s Countless Blessings.

The Imam, after reciting Surah al-Fatihah aloud in the first and second units of prayer, does not repeat the recitation of Surah al-Fatihah, neither audibly nor silently. The Imam pauses silently allowing for the followers (ma’mum) to complete their recitation of Surah al-Fatihah. The followers should whisper while reciting, causing themselves to hear while not disturbing others.

And Allah Knows best

Wassalam

Question: How can I concentrate in my Salaah with my eyes open? Clarification of having pants below ankles DETAILS: Assalamualaikum Dear Mufti Sahib,   1)I know that you have to read Salaah with the eyes open, but it’s very distracting, therefore can I leave my eyes open just a little bit and try to make this blurry and blink them a lot to concentrate more? What is the consequence of leaving the eyes closed in Salaah, I heard that if one does this, his Hoor in Jannah will be blind?2) Is peelu Miswaak the best Miswaak or the olive Miswaak? 3) What is the best place to position the hands During Du’aa’; like at face level or shoulder level or hands high up? Should our palms be facing upwards? 4)I heard that it is HARAAM to keep the pants or shalwar below the ankles and that Muhammad (S) said whatever is below the ankles will be in Jahannum. My brother is saying that this Hadith only applies to people at that time or even now who used to keep their pants below the ankle for the sake of PRIDE. Does this mean that regular Muslims who don’t keep their pants above the ankles (not for pride) will not get punished for this sin? Pleas e clarify.5)Are all synthetic alcohols in products useable no matter where the source of the synthetic alcohol is derived? 6) Should we Only act on Sahih Hadith or act on even the weak Hadith too? 7.Can you please give me a detailed description of how the Angels Jibreel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, and Israel look like if there are any Ahaadith that speak of their appearance and characteristics. Jazakallah May Allah (S.W.T) reward u infinitely. Assalamualaikum.
