Some people judge their opponents with the Fiqhi opinion that they themselves hold.
This is a huge mistake..
For example, a guy believes that keeping trousers below ankles (الإسبال) is a sin even if its not done with pride - so whenever he sees another guy keeping his trousers below his ankles, he assumes that he is a sinner.
Or a girl believes that shaping eyebrows (النمص) is a sin at all times, so whenever she sees another woman that has shaped her eye-brows for her husband - she assumes that she is a sinner.
This is NOT how this works.
You don't judge the OTHER person with the opinion that YOU hold.
Imam Ahmad believed was of the view that bleeding breaks Wudhu. But when he was asked if he would pray behind an Imam who bled but did not repeat Wudhu?
He replied
"How can I not pray behind Imam Maalik and Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab?!"
[Majmoo’ Al-Fatawa, 20/364].
Many scholars believe that your Wudhu breaks by:
- Touching a Woman
- Eating Camel Meat
- Touching your Private Parts
- Bleeding
- Hijama (cupping)
Other scholars did not believe this - but they ALL prayed behind each other.
If they had judged the OTHER side with their OWN opinion, they would not have prayed behind each other, because according to their understanding of evidences, their opponents Wudhu was broken, without Wudhu there is NO PRAYER.
Ibn Taymiyah said:
"This is permissible, since the Companions, the Tabi‘is, as well as the Four Imaams were praying behind each other in spite of their differences in opinion regarding the mentioned issues and others.
”None of the righteous predecessors adopted the opinion that they should not pray behind each other.”
”A person who denies this actually innovates in religion, goes astray and contradicts the Quran, the Sunnah as well as the consensus of the righteous predecessors and scholars.”
-
Some of the Companions, the Taabi‘is and those who followed them recited Basmalah at the beginning of the Surah of Al-Faatihah in prayer (others didn't),
-
Some made Wudhoo’ for touching the penis (others didn't),
-
Some made Wudhoo' after touching women with lust (others didn't),
-
Some made Wudhoo' after eating camel meat while others did not.
”Nevertheless, they used to pray behind each other. Imam Abu Haneefah and his followers, Imam Shaafi‘i and others used to pray behind the scholars of Medina from the Maaliki scholars, although they did not recite Basmalah, neither silently nor audibly.”
”It was reported that Abu Yoosuf performed prayer behind Ar-Rasheed after he was cupped. He did not repeat the prayer, although he was of the opinion that cupping nullifies Wudhoo’.”
[Majmu al-Fatawa, 23/374].
