During Salaat, while reciting Atthayyat, some people circle their right index finger, throughout. Which is the correct position, please state the mandating Hadith?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Also, when raising the index finger, a ring is formed with the thumb and the middle finger, should this ring be maintained, even after finishing the Atthayyat? I was told that this was the Sunnah.

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, the index finger should be raised when
reciting the ‘Laa’ in Attahiyyaat and lowering it when reciting Illallaah.
The ring should be maintained till the end.

The continuous movement of the index finger is according to the Maaliki
Madhab. Both views are substantiated by authentic Ahaadith.
