The answer

The basic principle is that an owner has the freedom to dispose of their property, and the ruler may only prevent them from doing so for a public interest, such as widening a road or for reasons of security and safety. However, preventing them without a public interest is not permissible. In this case, there is no sin upon a person for violating the law if their violation does not result in harm or discord. Al-Haytami holds that what the ruler commands without a public interest does not need to be obeyed except outwardly.
