Question

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

The ruling on praying behind the Imam of Ahl al-Hadith or any other Sahih Madhhab is that if it is known about that Imam that he is fully aware of the obligatory, wajib, sunnat and all the conditions of prayer according to the Hanafi Madhhab, then there is no difficulty in following him. No. And if it is known that Imam Sahib does not observe all the conditions or fard-wajib in the prayer according to the Hanafi Madhhab, then it is not permissible to do Iqtida behind it. And if one does not know the details of such an Imam, then it is makrooh to do Iqtida behind him. But nowadays, since the people of Ahl al-Hadith do not pay attention to the madhhab, but think that it is thawab to disobey the madhhab, say that it is shirk to obey the imams, make many disgusting remarks about the imams, and rebuke the followers of the madhhab. So it is advisable not to do iktida behind them as much as possible. 5819616184
