Question
If the imam is performing a funeral prayer according to the Shafi'i school and the follower adheres to the Hanafi school, how should he pray?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: He can pray it according to the Hanafi school; because there is a difference among them regarding what is recited between the takbirs, so he can perform it according to the Hanafi school, and God knows best.
