Can the followers of one Math-hab follow an Imaam of another Math-hab in Salaat?

Question

Can the followers of one Math-hab follow an Imaam of another Math-hab in Salaat? What should they do regarding major differences?

Answer

Yes, the followers of one Math-hab may follow the Imaam of another Math-hab in Salaat. When the Shaafi‟ Imaam recites Qunoot in Fajr, the Hanafis should remain silent. On the other hand, the Shaafi performing behind the Hanafi Imaam should recite the shortest Qunoot and link up with the Imaam in Sajdah.

In Ramadhaan they should not follow in Witr. They should perform their Witr separately.
