Completely agree with you Brother Zayn... but the point is ..."Why was a scholar of the degree of ibn-e-kathir not mention fuqha and left it to the people of dispute of which can be laymen. Also please answer the below.

Why can't the rule that fits ibn Katheer and Ibn Hajar r.e.h of deviating from the school not fit for some "Ghair Mukallid" ?

Also, if you say about Shafa'ee school having differing issues on awara ... isn't a Shafa'e's mukallids ordained to follow any of the differing opinions ?
