wa as-salamu alayka bro
right...so following a hadith and valid ikhtilaf is somehow a bad 'convenience'. But shoving a hanafi opinion down people's throat is somehow fine. The ulama differ over whether Eid salah itself is obligatory let alone the two kuhtbahs after it. Hence, there is a valid ikhtilaf in this issue so let people follow whichever they want.
In addition, most of the salafis are hanablis, so let them follow their madhab just as you want them to leave you alone and let you follow hanafi madhab.
the valid ikhtilaf is not picking and choosing, specially when there are number of ahadith supporting it. Which hanafi scholar told you that in matters of ikhtilaf you are picking and choosing from deen? And then you people say we do not have any ta'ssub and bigotry against hanbalis but it is clearly written all over it.
and Allah knows best
bro, you may be hanbali, fine. but you know very well when it comes down to it, most wannabe hanbalis love to follow different rulings. really, nothing of importance to me. but u can't deny the fact that more n more people are doing it out of convenience. that post of mine was for not meant for you anyway.
