Re: How to pray witr?
It is a slur because the Hanafi rulings were not based on subjective opinion or guess work … they were derived using deductive mechanisms - logical practice and harmonising techniques to calibrate their rulings in line with a bigger picture. This practice was “considered” to be too much intelligent intervention by SOME people who were not versed in such techniques and the counter slur for them is to call them literalists, zahiris or anthropomorphists etc … not all of the members of the other madhabs would level this claim against the Hanafis and for sure those that still level this claim have a problem accepting Hanafis for emotional reasons rather than dogmatic ones.
