The ruler has the authority to restrict permissible matters for the public interest. It is not permissible to violate these regulations as long as they serve the country's interest. If they do not serve the interest, then it is permissible to violate them inwardly if no harm is feared. As for what serves the public interest, it must be complied with inwardly and outwardly.
