Salam `Aleykum,

If you're a Shafi`i why not follow Shafi`i Fiqh with complete disregard to what Salafiyoun do? for example as far as Kuniyah is concerned your Imam which you follow (i.e al-Shafi`i) had a Kuniyah and he used to be called abu `Abdullah.

As for Niqab a woman must cover her face in front of non-Mahram men according to al-Nawawi, so just follow the Madhab and don't think about what others so.

People have the wrong idea that if Salafis do it, it must be wrong. Salafis also pray 5 times a day so should we also stop doing that? Salafis also fast in Ramadhan, so should we stop doing that? Salafis also warn against zina, are against mixing of the sexes, etc. so should we stop warning against zina and promote mixing of the sexes (and some already do this latter aspect!)?

Just because the Salafis do or don't do something doesn't mean we should or shouldn't do it. The source of our Islam is the Qur'an and Sunnah as understood by the four madhahib. What the Salafis do or don't do should have zero bearing on our deen.
