Praise be to Allah.
The person who says Ameen before the imam is not included in that reward, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “whoever (says Ameen) at the same time as.” But if we assume that the imam delayed it, in that case there is nothing wrong with the person who is praying behind him saying Ameen.
