Reciting Behind the Imam: Guidelines for Zuhr, Asr, Fajr, Maghrib, and Esha Prayers

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When praying behind the imam in Zuhr and Asr prayer, should we recite Surah Fatiha and a Surah in the first 2 rakaats and only Surah Fatiha in the last rakaat.

In Fajr, Maghrib and Esha, I know we should keep quiet and listen but in the last 2 rakaats when the imam is silent, should we recite Surah Fatiha only?

Bismillaah

A: No.

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