Question

Are hanafis allowed to follow a shafi Imaam in witr during Ramadan? (The scholar claims it is allowed and its to bring the community together.)

Answer

If the Imaam does not make a salaam after the second rakaat then according to all our ulama the namaaz will be valid.

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