The answer

According to the Shafi'is, it is obligatory for the ma'mum (follower) to recite Surat Al-Fatihah, based on the hadith: "Do not do so, except with the Opening of the Book (Fatihat al-Kitab), for there is no prayer for one who does not recite it." If the Imam bows after the ma'mum has completed Al-Fatihah, and the ma'mum is unable to hear the (subsequent) surah, there is no blame upon him. He is required to listen to the recitation after Al-Fatihah if possible.
