Following one Imaam of Fiqh

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: There are four schools of thought in which there are many differences, like Imam Shaafee says that one should recite Surah Fatiha behind the Imam whereas Imam Abu Hanifa says no to this. There is almost a difference of timing for asr salah. Where should one go, what must one do, who should he follow and which opinion is correct? 

Bismillaah

A: If you and your parents and elders have been following a certain imaam you should continue in that way.

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