Is duck meat halal for Hanafi Muslims despite having webbed feet?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamu Alaykum,
I would like to know whether it is permissible to consume duck meat. I have just looked at the GMWA website and it states that duck meat is halal for brother and sisters from the Hanafi school. I have always been under the impression that muslims could not consume the meat of any animal with webbed feet. All comments appreciated.
