Reciting the Fatiha Behind the Imam

The Fatiha is a pillar ("No prayer for whoever does not recite the Fatiha", Bukhari and Muslim). In the Maliki school, the follower recites it in silent prayers and listens to the imam in audible ones. Hanafis hold that the imam's recitation suffices; Shafi'is and Hanbalis require the follower to recite it in every prayer.
