Question
In Ramadhaan can Hanafis perform Witr behind a Shaafi' Imaam?
Answer
Hanafis cannot perform Witr behind a Shaafi. According to the Shaafi' Math-hab, Witr is Sunnat, and it is performed in two separate batches – first two raka'ts, then one raka't. For Hanafis, Witr is Waajib (akin to fardh), and is performed with one Salaam.
