Question
I attended a Janaazah Salaat at a Musjid. Many Hanafis did not join in the Salaat. On enquiring they said that it is not permissible according to the Hanafi Math-hab to perform Janaazah Salaat inside the Musjid. Is this correct? Should they not have compromised and join the Salaat?
Answer
Yes, it is correct. Compromising on this issue is not permissible. A compromise which requires perpetration of a prohibition is not permissible. The Shaafis should have compromised by accommodating the Hanafis. They should have performed the Salaat outside the Musjid proper (i.e. in the Sehn area). In this compromise they would not have been in violation of their Math-hab.
