Committing oneself to following one Imaam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: We respect the four imams and we follow the teachings of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Quran. There are very mild differences in Namaz as said by the 4 imams with their proofs in hadith. Now I pray without rafadayn and my hands are not on my chest while standing. So does it mean that I’m praying the wrong way, because I see in Saudi Arabia they do rafadayn and have hands on chest. Please help me and make my salah better.

Bismillaah

A: Commit yourself to the imaam that you have committed yourself to.

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