ya the hanafis...particularly the older generation from indo/pak genuinely don't know what madhabs are either...they are just told a specific way to pray so they assume everything contrary to that is wrong...they'd probably accuse a maliki of being shia etc

but both do it out of ignorance mainly i think as they don't know that valid opinions exist which are contrary to what they follow...i guess the best thing to do is just say jazakAllah khair but i follow a different opinion which is also valid according to certain scholars and refuse to get into further debate

i dont know if im being paranoid though but i feel like a bit of hostility once i say im hanafi
