In hanafi school can you raise hands in takbir throughout the whole salat...Also are salafis muslim or not and is it a sin to become salafi?

Question

Also are salafis muslim or not and is it a sin to become salafi? Also what is ahle hadith exactly

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, the hands in Fardh Salaat are raised only when commencing Salaat ? while reciting the Takbeer-e-Tahrima. It is incorrect to raise the hands elsewhere in Fardh Salaat.

Salafis are Muslims but they are misled in not making Taqleed (following) of one particular Imaam in Fiqh. Some of their Aqaaid and beliefs are questionable.
