ANSWER:

It is not necessary to stick to a particular madhab, especially when we have an established Sunnah for it. Follow the Sunnah and ignore others who are ignorant and don’t follow the sunnah.

When I do something from other madhab, like reciting fatiha(quietely) being a muqtadiy, or raising hands before and after ruku they are sometimes very critical saying “in Hanafi madhab it is not permissable. If you’re from this madhab you should do everything according to it, and not pick and choose. Should I not do them even if hadiths are authentic, not to cause fitna?

Is the reason that hanafi madhab has some weak hadith that the ahadith werent compiled yet completely or something else?

Sheikh, watching your videos has enlightened me a lot, but as someone born in Hanafi environment, i have caught a lot of things that contradict with the Sunnahs of Prophet especially in how to pray, after i watched your prophet’s way of praying video, it seems Hanafi has quite a few differences, now what to follow and what not to?
