Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. A Muqtadi (person performing Salaah behind the Imam) should remain silent regardless of whether it is a Salaah wherein the Imam recites loudly or softly. He should neither recite Surah Fatihah nor anything else. He should remain absolutely quite. The Qiraa’ah of the Imam is sufficient for the Muqtadi.[1] A person should focus his mind towards Allah as Salaah is a means of communicating with Allah. And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best Nabeel Valli Student Darul Iftaa Lusaka, Zambia Checked and Approved by, Ismail Desai. www.daruliftaa.net

فَأَمَّا الْمُقْتَدِي فَلَا قِرَاءَةَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَنَا .... وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ فَعِنْدَنَا «لَا صَلَاةَ بِدُونِ قِرَاءَةٍ» أَصْلًا، وَصَلَاةُ الْمُقْتَدِي لَيْسَتْ بِصَلَاةٍ بِدُونِ قِرَاءَةٍ أَصْلًا، بَلْ هِيَ صَلَاةٌ بِقِرَاءَةٍ وَهِيَ قِرَاءَةُ الْإِمَامِ عَلَى أَنَّ قِرَاءَةَ الْإِمَامِ قِرَاءَةٌ لِلْمُقْتَدِي، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - «مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إمَامٌ فَقِرَاءَةُ الْإِمَامِ لَهُ قِرَاءَةٌ»
