The answer

Reciting Al-Fatiha for the follower (ma'mum) is a matter of scholarly disagreement among jurists, and the most preponderant opinion is its obligation. As for some people's argument that it is not obligatory for the latecomer (masbuq) who catches the bowing, the answer to this is that the legal evidence has exempted the latecomer, which is a special case. Furthermore, the latecomer did not catch the complete standing, which is the place for Al-Fatiha, so it is dropped for him due to the absence of its place.
