However, in the Hanafi madhab, I was told it does not. Can I take the Hanafi opinion when it comes to this topic? If yes, does that mean I have to follow the Hanafi requirements for salah as well?","answer":"Yes, you can take the Hanafi position if sticking with the Shafi position is difficult. And no, you can still pray Shafi. Wudu and salat are considered two separate matters.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa0","tag":"Knowledge: Madhabs","count":65},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327dc","tag":"Marriage: Other","count":62},{"_id":"668da0150b76658b4c232daf","tag":"Relationships: Spouse","count":42},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa3","tag":"Hanafi","count":11},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa6","tag":"Shafi","count":10}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:08.280Z"}
