Sometimes when I pray behind the Imam, the
Imam will start reading the fatihah almost immediately. Should I finish the opening du’a,
or stop and listen to the Imam’s recitation?

Stopping opening du’aa’ to listen to the imaam’s recitation
Question: 2439
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
What you should do is listen to the imaams recitation, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): So, when the Quraan is recited, listen to it, and be silent that you may receive mercy. [al-Araaf 7:204].
And Allaah knows best.
