Question

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, it is compulsory for the Imaam and for a person who is performing Salaat by himself to recite Surah al-Faatiha. A person behind the Imaam should not recite Surah al-Faatiha in the standing posture. This is the meaning of the different Ahaadith pertaining to Surah al-Faatiha.

If you follow the Hanafi Madhab, you should adhere to the Hanafi Madhab.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
