Islam religion per quran and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings set the general rules selecting the ruler and for the relation between the ruler and his people. The ruler is obliged to consult his people in all people affairs. However, this should be subject to Islam basic principles and teachings. For example, never people consultation is done for allowing to drink alcohols, to perform fornication, allowing nudity, ... etc. Even prophet Muhammad consulted his people and changed his opinion in many situations to comply with the majority (but this never be in religious ruling and/or ritual worship)

Quran, the holy book of Islam, says (meaning English translation):

" pass over (call to prophet Mohamed) their faults, ask Allah (God) to forgive them, and consult them in affairs..."[Quran, chapter 3, verse 159]

and:

" ... those who answer the call of their Lord (means believe in his oneness) and perform prayers and who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation..."[Quran, chapter 42, verse 38]

Also Allah (God in English) Says,

"And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the disbelievers."

[Quran, chapter 5, verse 45]

"And so judge among them by what Allah has revealed.)"

[Quran, chapter 5, verse 44]

And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the rebellious.

[Quran, chapter 5, verse 46]
