Asking for ruling

Hi, what is the correct way to ask the ruling about any certain issue? Would it be with How or What?

For example: How is it to slap a policeman?
or
What is it to slap a policeman?

(A person wants to ask the ruling about slapping a policemen.)

thanks in advance.
It`s ruling, dear.

I mean if a person wants to ask, what will he face, as a punishment, if he slaps a policemen.

moreover, he will get the answer " Yes, it`s lawful." or "No, it`s unlawful."
Yes we should.
It`s ruling, dear.

As Miguel points out, "ruling" is not used as you have proposed.

What is the penalty/punishment/fine/etc. for slapping a cop?
Q: How is it to slap a policeman?
A: Very satisfying!

Q: What is it to slap a policeman?
A: It's to slap a policeman.

Your questions don't elicit the answers you are hoping for.

You would ask something like modulus's suggestions in #6, or 'What will I get if I slap a policeman?'
A ruling is a decision handed down by a court.
A law is a rule that applies to everyone.
A rule is a law that applies within, for example, a sports club.
A penalty is a punishment for breaking a law or a rule.

So, what are you trying to say?

What is the law on slapping a policeman?
What is the penalty for slapping a policeman?
