And no one would disagree with you if it wasn't for the fact that with respect to fiqh there is also the problem of people falling into the fitnah of following their desires, i.e. seeking multiple opinions in order to find one that they find easy and then making taqleed of it. So with the contemporary Hanafi Ulema in ash-Shaam, to the best of my understanding, their inclination is towards your view while those in the Subcontinent cite the factor I did above which makes their position different. I do not know how Iraqi and Turkish Hanafi Ulema, by and large, view the issue. Furthermore, I am not sure if this has always been an issue over which Ulema have differed or if this has occurred just recently. Wa'salaam.
