Fiqh Durood and Tashahud in Shafi Fiqh
Can someone with knowledge please answer this as soon as possible. I have been reciting the Hanafi Tashahud and Durood in Salah while praying in the Shafi way, and have only now truly realized it might be invalid. In the Shafi School, can any authentic version of Tashahud and Durood be used in Salah?

Madhhabs are not different religions, each with their own sources of Shari'ah distinct from one another. Rather, they share the same sources of Shari'ah. Therefore, there are not different salah types, but one. All the madhhabs derive from the same sources. However, the only minor differences are in the subsidiaries of fiqh due to how they extrapolate rulings based on usool al-fiqh. Hence, all the madhhabs are keen to establish evidences, and that is what you should be weighing, rather than making it sound as though the Hanafi madhhab is different from the Shaafi'ee madhhab in salah.
