This is the school of thought of Imam Abu Hanifa that one shouldn’t recite the Fatiha when praying behind the Imam. Their prayer is valid as long as they are following this school and they think that it is right. You can attend their schools and pray with them as they are Muslims just like you but they differ in some Fiqh issues.

A sister ask she see some Turkish Muslim in her country praying without saying alfatiha or any short surat , is that prayer valid and acceptable? what shall we advice them? and can we attend their mosque or islamic classes offered in the center?
