I follow the Hanafi school of thought, may Allah be pleased with them, and I live in Jordan where I am an imam of a mosque. It is known that the imam's recitation suffices for the congregation's recitation in our practice. However, when I tried to apply this, some of the worshippers told me: 'You do not leave us space to recite behind you in the audible prayer,' so I refrained and adopted the opinion of Imam Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him. Am I sinful in this case because I feared fitnah (temptation or discord)? Was what I did correct, and should I perform the prostration of forgetfulness due to my silence after Al-Fatiha as is established in our practice?
