The answer

Issues related to public affairs and legitimate governance vary in their rulings according to the reality and its given circumstances, the balance of power, the consideration of benefits and harms, ability and inability, and foresight into outcomes.

The jurist must combine understanding of the with knowledge of reality, and apply what is obligatory according to his capacity, for rulings change with the variation of time and place.

The reference for these matters are the people of knowledge in each country, because they are most aware of their reality. The general public must rally around them, consult with them, hold fast to the rope of Allah, solidify their ranks, unite their word, prioritize the public interest, and abandon disagreements.
