Deobandis and Hanafis

Q:

1. The deobandi movement follows the Hanafi Madhab, so in the main institution of Deoband, Darul Uloom, are the Fiqhs and Fiqhi positions of the other Madhaahib taught, in addition to the specialisation of Hanafi Fiqh part of the Deobandi Curriculum?

2. How and from what and which evidences have as we Hanafis cited to come to the position that we place our hands under our navel during Salaah but Shafi'ees and Shafi'ee scholars have come to their conclusion to placing their hands on their chest? Jazakh Allah for all your works, May Allah bless you all.

Asking the dead for one's needs

Q: I have a question in regards to Shirk. Can a Muslim be a mushrik. Let me define this Muslim first. 1, He accepts Allah and all his messenger are on haq 2, He accept all four books were from Allah and there is a life after death, day of judgement, heaven and hell. 3, He also follow the five pillars of Islam. Following all above this and he has firm faith on this. But still he goes to dargahs and asks directly from the one who is in the grave and has faith that the person whoever is in the grave will help him and listen to him and cure his problem and does all kinds of shirk. If he dies in that state doing shirk and thinking that as a worship, will he be going to jahannum forever or will he be punished for a particular period of time like those people who do haraam will get punished and then back to Jannah. Like Allah Ta'ala said I will forgive all sin except shirk. Can we consider that Muslim man's act as shirk or is this different?
