Summary
Saying “Amin” after finishing al-Fatihah is recommended, whether inside or outside the prayer. It is especially emphasised within the prayer, whether one prays alone, leads as imam or follows as a congregant. The ruling rests on the view of the Shafi'i scholars and on the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah about forgiveness of past sins for one whose Amin coincides with that of the angels.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
disunatkan untuk menyebut lafaz "Amin" selepas selesai membaca surah al-Fatihah tidak kira sama ada di dalam solat mahupun di luar solat.
