khair the main point to discuss is how much leeway can a state or govt give to the people before implementing actual shariah?

How much leeway can any other other Muslim give ? Its not like state in Islam has more rights than a normal Muslim can have. A state head is a individual Muslim too. Just that he is invested with more power or control and hence more responsibility. His rights are the same. Issues which are communal fard perhaps gets done by the state because of the better ability to function orderly.

In question of leeway we would have to look at what category of priority the issue comes in and the nature of the issue with regards to its obligatoryness and type of proof and the state of society as to whether it would bring more harm than good.
