Prayer Times“Amin” is a word said at the end of a supplication to express the hope that Almighty Allah will accept it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recommended saying “Amin” at the end of supplication. (Bukhari, Adhan, 111 [780]; Muslim, Salat, 72-75 [410])
According to the Hanafi school, it is Sunnah to say “Amin” quietly at the end of al-Fatiha. There is no difference in this regard between the imam, the congregation, or someone praying alone. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 1/493) According to the Shafi'i school, “Amin” is said aloud in prayers where the recitation is audible, and quietly in prayers where the recitation is silent. (Shirazi, al-Muhadhdhab, 1/139-140)
