Such claims require proof.

We have the great Shafi'i Imam, Imam al-Haramayn al-Juwayni :rah:, who was the teacher of Imam Ghazali. He said that the issue of marriage to Hanafis is like that to Ahlul Kitab. A Shafi'i man can marry a Hanafi woman, but Shafi'i woman is not allowed to marry a Hanafi man. This is obviously a ridiculous fatwa. And it's rejected.

My point is extremism can always be found. Just like i as a Shafi'i would let my daughter marry a pious Hanafi, so would many Hanafi ulama pray behind Imam Shafi'i, Nawawi, Al-Hafeth etc even if he only did masah on small part of the hair, or didn't take water into mouth and nose while doing ghusl or something similar which can be done according to the Shafi'is.
