Shaafi calling out the iqaamah according to the Hanafi mazhab
Question
Is it permissible for a Shaafi to perform Iqamah according to the Hanafi madhab due to the majority of musallees and the imam being Hanafi?
Answer
Since he is a shaafi, he should follow his mazhab and call the iqaamah according to the mazhab of Imaam Shaafi. However, if he calls out the iqaamah according to the hanafi mazhab, it will be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
