Following a shaafi'ee Imaam in the Eid salaah

Q: Salaah-553: If some Hanafi people follow a Slraafi'ee Imaam in the Eid salaah, should they make the extra Takbeers? While the Hanafi Madh'hab requires six extra Takbeers. the Shaafi'ee Madh'hab requires seven extra Takbeers in the first Rakaah and five in the second. What should a Hanafi do?

Answer: A Hanafi may follow a Shaafi'ee Imaam in the Eid salaah and make the extra Takbeers with the Imaam. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
