Question

There r many Ahadees that followers in Nimaz should say sura Fateha , but in Hanafi mazhab v stay silent. Is it Ok.

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, it is compulsory for the Imaam and for a person who is performing Salaat by himself to recite Surah al-Faatiha. A person behind the Imaam should not recite Surah al-Faatiha in the standing posture. This is the meaning of the different Ahaadith pertaining to Surah al-Faatiha.

If you follow the Hanafi Madhab, you should adhere to the Hanafi Madhab.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
