I am still wondering where to post such links. InshAllah Mods will help out.
Question : Can you please tell me that whether a person from a hanafi fiqh can pray behind the imam from different fiqh like, malaki, hanbali, shafyee ? i have heared that we cannot.

Fatawa Hindiyyah states that Iqtida' of a Shafi'i imam is only valid if he (the shafi'i imam) keeps consideration of the issues of ikhtilaaf. Thereafter he gives examples of these differences. In short these examples are issues which according to hanafi madhab render's a salah invalid, while they may not do so according shafi'i madhab......

How do you know or can expect an Imam to give examples of ikhtilaaf and how do you know he keeps such considerations? How is a layman person supposed to establish such facts?
Much of salahs at the mosque is read behind a Barelwi Imam.
The imam does not have to give any examples. As a layman, you are obligated to learn the basics of your own madhab. So in a community once you start praying in a certain place you start to learn about a certain imam and his practices. For example the issue of wiping on thin socks. If you come to know that the imam does indeed make masah on thin cotton socks then you will now know that he does not take other madhahib into any consideration. Hence you will avoid praying behind him.
As for the barelwi issue, he is still a hanafi. That issue is about praying behind a mubtadi', which is also permissible (generally) but not advisable. However if it is known that he has extreme shirki beliefs, then it is not permissible to pray behind him. This also you will figure out after having some time in the community.
I've been reading salah at a certain masjid for many years, and I'm always more concentrated I'm fulfilling the fardhs of salah. I've never been bothered about what the Imam does or thinks about other madhabs.
So, I should go and ask him that question regarding doing masah on the cotton jarabah?
To be able to fulfil your requirements, you will need to learn about the requirements. As long as you know it, then if you come across anything contrary to it, it should raise a red flag.
You have been praying behind a certain Imam, and have not noticed whether he makes masah on socks or not. This is most probably because he doesnt. Those from hanabila who do make masah on socks, do not hide it. They do it in open. So there is absolutely no reason for prying and start looking into things.
Allamah Shaami rahimahullah concludes his discussion with his opinion that these issues which will make the salah makruh are where Imam does not take care of the fara'idh.
If Imam doesn't take care of the Fardh, wouldnt the salah then just be invalid? Why is makruh being mentioned here? Or is this Allamah Shaami's isolated opinion?
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
