Whoever among the congregants is unable to recite Al-Fatihah, or fears missing the bowing with the Imam, should bow with the Imam even if he misses Al-Fatihah. This is supported by the of Abu Bakrah, who bowed before reaching the صف (row), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not order him to repeat the rak'ah.
