tasarruful imaam ala ra'iyah manoot bil maslahah

Example

A ruler of a particular land allows music, lewd dancing, public gambling, and etc. to be shown in public theatres and on the television

The people will receive no spiritual benefit for the above mentioned activities

Thus, the decree by the ruler allowing such activities is HARAM

This is because his actions must benefit his people
