Q: I was reading a book named "Diwaan e Shafi'i". Kindly guide me about its authenticity.
Should one read it and believe that all this book contains are authentic poems of one of four jurisprudents of Ahlas Sunnah (Imam Muhammad Ibn Idrīs al Shafiʿi)?
Q: Is it permissible for a hanafi to follow a shafi jamaat for asr salaah if the time for asr hasnt set in for hanafi yet? What is the ruling and other important points to note?
Q: When we go for umrah, all the umrah busses stop for asr prayer according to shafiee time. We (ladies) strictly follow hanafi time. In winters, due to school, we read our zuhur salah after the shafiee asr azan, as hanafi zuhur salaah time is still there. We also read our asr according to hanafi time i.e. late.
So my question is... the bus stops for asr at shafiee time. If we do not get the jamaat, what should we do? Can we read at shafiee time at such circumstances?
Q: The followers of Imam Shafiee are permitted to travel as a group of woman over the Sharee distance of 78km. What is their proof for this? What is the ruling of a woman from the Hanafi fiqh to travel with a mahram? Is it fardh, wajib or sunnah?
Q: I came to know that In Shafi Madhab cutting beard is Makrooh (disliked) as said by their two great Shaikhs, Shaikh Al Nawai and I forgot the name of the other Shaikh. Can I follow Shafi madhab in the ruling of cutting the beard as I follow the Hanafi madhab but because I am feeling great resistance from society.
Q: Is there a difference between iddat in hanafi and shafi mazhab?
Q: In Saudi do hanafis read asr in jamaat with the imaam at shafi time?
Q: On safr, is a person allowed to read asr in shafi asr time. If so, then since a hanafi's zuhr ends at asr hanafi, can a person still read zuhr in asr shafi time and after a few minutes read the asr salaah?
Q: I follow the Shafie madha-hab. I discovered after 9 months of marriage that if the husband touches his wife her wudhu breaks. How do I repay all the salaahs I performed without wudhu?
Q: My question is regarding which madhab to follow? Growing up I was told that I am a Shafee. My mother is a Hanafi and I have only been trained in the Hanafi Madhab. We also live in South Africa which is a majority Hanafi country. Kindly advise on how should I proceed with my religious obligations?
