Salaamun alaykum,

	The reply to the following question was kindly provided by Shaykh 
Ali Rasheed.

 QUESTION:

  Answer needed as per Ayt. Seestani:
        Do you recite Surah Al-Hamd and the other Surah in jamaat namaaz
 if your niyat is furadah, or do you keep silent?


 ANSWER:
	Ayatullah Seestani, Daamat Barakaatuhu, states: "When individual
intention is made during recitation, it is obligatory (upon the
worshipper) to recite (Al-Hamd & the 2nd Surah) from its beginning and
reciting only what remains (after changing intention) does not suffice,
according to precaution." [Al-Masaa`il Al-Muntakhabah, Issue #375] 

	Based on this, it is apparent that the person must recite for
him/herself when praying Furada in a congregation. 

Wasalaam,

Ali Rasheed
