I want clarification about the folding pants or sleeves while praying. It is haraam, or just not allowed or it is permissible.

Imam recites al-fatihah loud prayers congregation(Fajr, maghrib esha) I recite al-fatihah same time silently e.g when the imam says alhamdullilahi rabil alammen I say the same, imam says ar rahmaniraheem I say the same etc.. this ok ?imam does not pause after reading al-fatihah starts surah straight away- if I read al-fatihah I may not get to listen to surah being recited or be able to finish my recital of fatihah if imam reading short surah?
