Bro, of course there is evidence for combining salah. But for us Hanafi's, combining salah is not permissible, rather we must do Qasr (shortening the prayer).

But if you really want the proofs, I'll get back to you on that in a while. Until then, maybe a knowledgeable brother can explain the ikhtilaf.

2. Are there (and/or have there been) any prominent Hanafi scholars who have allowed combining of prayers while traveling? Yes.
Here's an example of such a Fatwa: http://spa.qibla.com/issue_view.asp?...14586&CATE=239

One may follow another madhab if there is a dire emergency and no other option is possible. However, the person must be consistent in following that madhab (i.e you cannot do wudhu as a shafi'i and pray as a Hanafi).
