Should Ta''min (saying: ''Amin''

Q 2: When the Imam recites Al-Fatihah and reaches the Ayah: You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). I hear some Ma'mums (persons being led by an Imam in Prayer) say: (We seek Allah's help), what is the ruling on this? I also see that some people follow the Imam's recitation by looking in the Qur'an, especially in Tahajud Salah during the blessed month of Ramadan. Is there any sin in this?

A: First: The supplication of the people led in prayer when the Imam recites: You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). Is not legally prescribed. Second: What is prescribed is to follow the Imam by heart and think deeply (Part No. 6; Page No. 425) of what is being recited, for Allah (Exalted be He) says: So, when the Qur’ân is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. And the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): When the Imam recites (the Qur'an), listen attentively .May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
