Yes Sidi, I wanted to have a confirmation about it being the strongest opionion.
My doubt is, Imam Muhammad (ra) and Imam Abu Yusuf (ra) agreeing on an issue with a view different from that of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra), doesn't make their (Imam Muhammad's and Imam Abu Yusuf's) view the stronger?
Also keeping in view the post I've copy-pasted from brother bugmenot.

Do you by any chance have the link of Mufti Husain's post? I didn't manage to find it!
And the article of Mufti Abdur Rahman?

!

Assalamu alaikum brother,

As SunniPath themselves confirmed the stronger opinion is of invalidity. Also Imam Muhammad and Imam Abu Yusuf agreed on many issues but the fatwa is with Imam Abu Hanifa. There are many examples such as: Asr time, Isha time, looking and reading from the Quran while in salaat, etc. So the stronger opinion can still be Imam Abu Hanifa's even though they may differ and be united in their difference.

I don't have the link to Mufti Husain's post but I distinctly remember reading it - someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe Mufti Rafi Usmani was mentioned in that post too.

Mufti Abdur Rahman addressed a similar issue, I heard him live. He also addressed such issues in his recordings on www.zamzamacademy.com. You can check out especially the lecture series on salaat and check out the lecture of witr where he talks about the invalidity of praying 2+1 rakat behind the imams of the Haramain.

About Imam Shah WaliAllah, he is known to have differed from the mufta bihi opinion of the Hanafi madhab on many occasions. He had knowledge to do so. The Salafis in accusing the Hanafis and other people who take from various madhabs, to justify their position quote him in their defense. The funny thing is that Shah WaliAllah, rahimahuAllah, himself wrote in his book with his own hands that he considered switching to the Shafi' madhab but he saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in his dreams telling him to remain in the Hanafi madhab. So as for his final position on various issues - I am uncertain whether he stuck to his views or reverted to the mufta bihi position of the Hanafi madhab.
