Obeying tyrants as a religious duty

But there are severe differences within the fiqhs themselves. Remember, it has been hundreds of years since last of the four imams die and did their ijtehad. And these imams can not rule on new issues of today. Thus within one fiqh, there are differences about whether music is allowed, or what kind of music is allowed. Or whether picture taking is allowed, or how severe a sin it is.
So who has authority now to resolve these differences? Which version would the state follow? The “official” version of tyrant, obviously. But that version may or may not be accurate.

there is no one official version thats the answer, and we are not talking of a time when the tyrants is in power rather a utopian view of things

And these imams can not rule on new issues of today. Thus within one fiqh, there are differences about whether music is allowed, or what kind of music is allowed. Or whether picture taking is allowed, or how severe a sin it is.

these are minor issues on which further debates and ijtehad might be needed but the opinion on big issues are fairly consistent in various fiqahs and even within different fiqhs

afterall within 12ers there is difference of opinion yet they are quite successful in maintaing a consensus for bigger issues.
