Do Satmar hassidim follow the Mishnah Berurah? If this is not the case, what sefer or sefarim do they use?

Just as a provisional, partial answer, I know they don't follow the MB because up until very recently they not only let out shabbos at the R''T zman, they also took it in at that time, which lead to some weird situations.– TatpurushaJul 14, 2014 at 20:31

1Welcome to Mi Yodeya. Interesting first question. I think that there are other communities, including a few Litvishe yeshivas (but I'm not sure which ones) that look at other authorities ahead of the Mishna Berurah, and I'd also like to know which ones.– Bruce JamesJul 14, 2014 at 20:54

Maybe learning the Sugya (up to late acharonim) and Shimush?– ertert3terteJul 14, 2014 at 20:56

The chassidim in communities i know, this means poskim and dayanim, who bishita don't view the mishna berurah as the posek achron rely upon the rav shulchan aruch. This is a general attitude, not limited to satmar.

2Its ok. I've been called worse by better people. I also know Rabbi Frankel who fed Reb Yoel all the lashon hara about the state before he wrote Vayoel Moshe, so I know nothing in there was written with the clear objectiveness a seffer deserves.– user6591Jul 17, 2014 at 17:16

I've been in a Yeshiva with Satmar guys. By Halacha Seder they learnt Mishnah Berira. Reb Leibel Willger isn't Satmar but he uses Mishnah Berira all the time!
