Is the prayer of the Hanafis valid because they straighten up slightly after rising from bowing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding straightening up after bowing, is it said that the prayer of many Hanafis is not valid because they do not straighten up except after rising from bowing just a little?

Answer:
This is their independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), this is their independent legal reasoning. And whoever wants the Sunnah and wants the completion of the prayer, he acts as it came in the Sunnah. He straightens up. The majority hold that this is a pillar. So they left a pillar of the pillars of prayer. But they are exercising independent legal reasoning in this and they hold that it is not a pillar. They hold that it is not a pillar. So they have their independent legal reasoning. It is not our concern regarding them. We do not invalidate their prayer. If we invalidated their prayer, we would invalidate much of it. It is not our concern regarding them. If this is their independent legal reasoning and we are convinced of them, we only clarify the Sunnah for them. As for obliging them, no.
