Does one follow the imam if he follows a different school of jurisprudence and is aware of it?

The questioner : The second question is for you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Oh, Allah, is there anything else?

The questioner : Yes, the second question, the second one, our Shaykh.

The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah .

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Our Shaykh, you mentioned that this applies if he is a scholar or a student of knowledge.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : So now, as for us—for example—our Salafi brothers also place one hand over the other after bowing and descend to prostration on the knee, and so on.

The Shaykh : They follow.
The student : They follow in that as well.

The Shaykh : Yes, if they are aware of it. But if they are ignorant, then no.

The questioner : Oh Shaykh, the pants and the trousers.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The student : Shaykh, we are coming from Saudi Arabia. May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Please, come down.
The student : May Allah reward you.
Another student: I entrust you to Allah.
