The question

The answer

The laws governing work, which the ruler establishes for the benefit of the country and its people, must be adhered to and observed. It is his right to restrict what is permissible if he sees a legitimate benefit in doing so. Whatever contains public benefit must be complied with, both inwardly and outwardly.
