If a Hanafi man marries a Shafi woman, which mathab should their child follow? Does it make a difference what school of thought the parents should emphasize?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Desai

Answer:

The wife must follow the husbands school of thought. If he is a Hanafi, the
wife will also be a Hanafi.

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best
