I have stopped attending the Asr Jamaat at the masjid, because of uncertanity in my mind about difference in Asr salaat times between Hanafi and Shaafi’ee, Maliki, and Hanabali Madhabs.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

While I understand and accept the answers provided, a simple Yes/No would clearify the following question: Can a follower of Hanafi Madhab call adhaan and/or lead Asr salaat according to prayer times of Shaafi?ee, Maliki, or Hanabali Madhab? My main reasons for re-submitting the question are: 1. The Imam of our local Masjid is Hanafi 2. The time of Asr salaat is set according to Shaafi?ee Madhab 3. The Hanafi’s & Shaafi?ee’s are fairly equal in number 4. We establish Fajar according to Hanafi time, and the rest of the salaats according to Shaafi?ee time At present I have stopped attending the Asr Jamaat at the masjid, because of uncertanity in my mind about difference in Asr salaat times between Hanafi and the Shaafi?ee, Maliki, and Hanabali Madhabs.

Answer

There is nothing to worry about. You should join the Jamat for Asr Salaat. Even though the Asr Salaat is performed in the Shaafi?ee time and it is led by a Hanafi, the Salaat is valid. (Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.16 pg.317)
