I have some questions regarding Namaz according to Hanafi Maslak.
First a general question. Can one recite Bismillah before Wadu in modern day bathrooms where you have sinks, toilet and showers combined in one room?
Whether to keep silent or read Surah Fatiha during Zuhur and Asar fard behind Imam.
Whether to recite Surah Fatiha in last rakat of Maghrib and Isha or keep silent. Prophet SAW said, there is no Salat without Surah Fatiha.
There are many other questions, that I will ask later in this thread.
As per my knowledge, once behind imam, there is no recitation upon the follower. The only difference between fajr and zuhr salat is that you can't hear the recitation in zuhr, though imam is still reciting it. So when you don't recite your own in fajr, why would you want to do it in zuhr.
I beg to differ what TLK bhai said above. In Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha, Imam recite in first two rakats and we listen but don't read, but when we go for ruku, Sajdha, Tasshahud, we read what we taught to read. Similar to this, in Dhuhur and Asr prayers, in first two rakat (while offering behind Imam) we should read Surah Fatiha+Surah and do the same as we do while offering remaining two rakats or when we read alone.
Technically Hanafi is not a tareeqah, but a madhab ... We say tareeqah wrongly in the subcontinent ... We intermingle Sufi turuq with Sunni Madhabs ...
A prayer is perfectly valid if one only has wudu, intention of prayer behind the imam, and whispers takbir where the Imam says takbir, and does not precede the imam in any action, and does nothing else ...
The strict Hanafi position is that reading behind the imam in anything other than saying "AllahuAkbar" is not allowed ... so no Surah Fatihah either in the loud or silent rakahs ... however, people from other madhahib do read silently ... and I have seen some layman Hanafis also reciting ... the other fiqhs are less concerned about the silent rakahs but they do not recite aloud during the audible rakahs by the Imam yet I have seen some laymen copying the imams during the recitations ...
Hanafi position is no recitation for the muqtadee ...
JazakaAllah psyah. This is what I have been taught since childhood, but later there had been some confussion developed, so I wanted to know what exactly Hanafi fiqh says about loud or silent rakah.
This means, one only does takbeer, sana, tasbeen in Rukuh, Rabbana wa lakal hamd, then tasbeen in sajood, tashhud, darood and dua at the end then salaam after imam silently.

I always understood to stay quiet and listen while the imam recites in the first two rakaats, and read silently in the 3rd/4th. Just wondering if you had any reference handy about the hanafi position of staying quiet altogether (neither aloud nor silently reading)?
Also my understanding is that if Quran is being recited aloud, you are suppose to listen to it, not recite aloud/silently in any situation, whether it be salat or otherwise.
If you reach masjid just in time for Fard at Fajar time and you think if you started 2 rakat Sunnah, you're gonig to miss the first rakat of Fard with Jamat, what should we do. Can we pray 2 Sunnah after congregational fard?

Of course ... I would not answer this without a reference at hand ... However please note the reading of prayer in the silent rakahs is allowed but not required, but it is not allowed in the audible rakahs ... Anyway ... I'll get the reference out when I return inshaAllah ... (As I am out of the country at mo) ... Peace
