ANSWER:

In silent rakah, there is no problem in finishing it before your imam as you don’t know where he is reciting.

In loud rakah, you are not allowed to start reciting it until he finishes it.

For someone who recites the Fatihah silently behind the Imaam, even in loud Rakahs, is it okay for him to finish before the Imam finishes reciting the Fatihah, or should he recite with the same pace as the Imaam?
