Asalamualaikum Respected Mufti, There is a Hanafi girl who learns in a islamic Shafie girls boarding school.They pray their asar salaah with jamaat at their time.She prays her sallah at the Hanafi time on her own. They do not approve of her actions and are against it.Please urgently advise,is is Ok to pray Asar at their time?? Wasalaam.
Answer:
(Fatwa: 508/508=M/1429)
The Hanafi girl should offer her salah alone according to Hanafi timing, her salah will be valid. She should not mind the displeasure of Shafe?i girls; it is undesirable for only women to perform salah in congregation.
