My question is that you said a layman must choose 1 madhab to follow and not choose from second. I follow hanafi madhab but in hanafi madhab they pray witr with 3 rakahs (2 tashahhud and 1 tasleem) but i pray it like others with 2 rakah tasleem and then 1 rakah tasleem. So can i do it or should i pray only in hanafi way.

Sheikh, I know that sujood at-tilawah is not mandatory while I am reciting Quran. I can skip if I wish. But if I am praying and one of the verses comes which has a sujood, local imam said that we can skip it, perform ruku & do regular sujood which will suffice. Please enlighten me about its validity & what can or can’t be done in this regard.
