Sheikh can you be hanafi salafi? If so what scholars today could I follow? Also sheikh are the salafi scholars only in the gulf? Aren’t there anymore scholars on the sunnah around the world? Why is it only Saudi scholars we look at?

Yes, Imam Ibn Baz said there is no harm in ascribing yourself to the Hanafi madhhab as long as you do not follow it blindly and you take the truth whenever the evidence shows it, inside or outside the madhhab. The people of the Sunnah are not limited to one land, and there are many salafi scholars from outside of this region that we have studied and benefitted from, but you may not know them that's all.
