Question
If a Shaafi' performs Salaat behind a Hanafi Imaam, should he still recite Surah Faatihah?
Answer
It is compulsory for the Shaafi' to recite Surah Faatihah in every raka't even if the Imaam is a Hanafi. The Shaafi' should follow his Math-hab even behind a Hanafi Imaam. In the second raka't of Fajr, the Shaafi' when behind a Hanafi Imaam, should recite the shortest Qunoot and link up with the Imaam in Sajdah.
