The questioner : People do not like anything; if the ruler does something, they say, "This is bad." What is the criterion?
The Shaykh : The criterion is what the moderate, middle-of-the-road people see, because some people are not satisfied with what the ruler does at all, even if it is the most lenient possible; they do not like it.
