what about offering salat behind a salafi/ahl-e-hadith imam.is it good?
Answer
(Fatwa: 239/222/B=1432)
If he does not consider taqleed shirk and does not abuse Imam Abu Hanifa (رحمة الله عليه), the Fuqaha and Ulama and takes care of Ahnaf in the masael of water, wudhu and ghusl, then you can offer salah behind him. Otherwise, salah would be makrooh tahrimi behind him.
