Opinions on the question
First opinion · Sunni tradition (the museum's frame)Main reference
The author quotes al-Dusuqi's Maliki gloss: the ruler's command in a recommended or permissible matter binds; in a disliked matter there are two views; in a forbidden matter there is no obedience (p. 99).

Academic viewSecondary opinion
The author holds that the ruler's power to restrict is confined to the permissible, which alone allows both doing and leaving, and says the question needs fuller study (p. 99).
