The answer

"The regulations and laws enacted by states to restrict permissible things must be followed, as long as they achieve a public interest or ward off a real harm, because the ruler's actions are contingent upon public welfare. This is supported if, in its application, the reality and the balance of benefit and harm are considered. The estimation of this is referred to the people of knowledge in Libya."
