Sunni Muslims cite the word, “Amin”, after reciting [[Sura al-Fatiha]] in the [[prayer]] as a reply to the verse, “Show us the right path”, (the Quran, 1:6). If the worshipper says his or her prayer individually, then they cite the word on their own, and if they say a [[congregational prayer]], when the leader of the prayer finishes reciting Sura al-Fatiha, all worshippers cite “Amin” together. Shiite [[fuqaha]] (or jurisprudents) maintain that citing “Amin” in the prayer invalidates it, since this is a heretic practice in the prayer that is not known to be confirmed in the tradition of the Prophet (s). | Sunni Muslims cite the word, “Amin”, after reciting [[Sura al-Fatiha]] in the [[prayer]] as a reply to the verse, “Show us the right path”, (the Quran, 1:6).
