Flatbusher, there are frequently machlokes’ what the halacha is, with some shittas saying one way and other shittas saying the other way. Sometimes it is a difference between Sephardim and Ashkenazim (i.e. Shulchan Aruch and Rema) and other times there are differences even within Sephardim or Ashkenazim. And different communities may hold differently from each other. It’s been like this since the era of the Tanaaim.
