The Khalifah does not have a fixed term of office; as long as the Khalifah preserves the Shari’ah and he implements its rules, and is capable of carrying out the affairs of the State, he remains as a Khalifah as long as his situation does not change to one that would remove him from the leadership of the State. If his state changes in this manner, then it is obligatory to remove him from his position at that time.
