Hanafi Reading Ishaa in Shafi Time

There is difference of opinion regarding the commencement of Esha time in the Hanafi Madhab. The preferred view of Imaam Abu Hanifa Rahimahullah is that Esha commences when the white glow on the western horizon disappears. However, the view of Imaam Yusuf and Muhammad Rahimahumullah is that Esha time commences when the red glow on the western horizon disappears. This is also one view of Imaam Abu Hanifa Rahimahullah and the view of Imaam Shafi’ee Rahimahullah. The Fatwa is issued upon the preferred view of Imaam Abu Hanifa Rahimahullah i.e. Esha commences when the white glow on the western horizon disappears

Now coming to the queried scenario, Esha Salaah should be performed according to the preferred view in the Hanafi Madhab. In fact, Hadrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Saheb Gangohi Rahimahullah writes in Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah that one should repeat his Esha Salaah (as a precautionary measure) if Salaah was performed in the Shafi’ee time. [Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah Vol. 9 Pg. 60] In conclusion, Esha Salaah should be performed in the Hanafi Masajid where Salaah is performed according to the view of Imaam Saheb Rahimahullah.
