If a Hamafi witnesses a Shafi’ee Imaam doing something unacceptable according to the Hanafi Mathab e.g. Masah of three strands of hair, is it permissible for the Hanafi to follow the Shafi’ee Imaam?
Following A Shafi’ee Imaam Who Does Something Unacceptable According the Hanafi Mathab
Question
Answer
If the Shafi’ee Imaam makes Masah only on three strands of hair, the Salaah of a Hanafi behind such an Imaam will be invalid due to the Wudhu of the Imaam being considered invalid according to the Hanafi Madhhab.

Mufti Muhammed Saeed Motara Saheb D.B.
