Remaining silent when performing salaah behind the imaam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What is the ruling regarding jahari and sirri salah behind an Imam? Does the muqtadi (follower) recite anything in both salah?

Example: The last one and two rakats of Maghrib and Esha farz respectively. Should he recite surah fatiha or should he remain silent?

Bismillaah

A: When performing salaah behind the imaam, the muqtadi should remain silent in all rakaats of a jahri salaah or sirri salaah.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
