Performing asr Salaah before the Hanafi asr time sets in

Q: If a follower of hanafi fiqh prays asr salaah individually or as an Imam at a time when the time of asr has not started according to the hanafi maslak but started according to the maslak of the other three imams, is this salaah valid?

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
