Khalifa huondolewa mara moja iwapo hali yake binafsi imebadilika kwa namna inayolazimu kuondolewa kwake; vinginevyo, Khalifa lazima aondolewe katika hali fulani ambazo kisheria hairuhusiwi kuendelea kuwa Khalifa. Tofauti kati ya hali hizi mbili ni kwamba katika kesi ya kwanza, inayomwondoa katika nafasi ya Khalifa, utii kwake haulazimu tena mara tu tukio hilo linapotokea. Lakini katika kesi ya pili, ambapo lazima aondolewe, utii kwake unabaki kuwa wa lazima hadi kuondolewa kwake kukamilika. Kuna mambo matatu yanayobadilisha hali yake kwa ufanisi na yangemwondoa katika nafasi ya Khalifa kulingana na kigezo cha kwanza hapo juu:

A Khalifah is deposed immediately if his personal situation has changed in a way that necessitates his removal; alternatively the Khalifah must be deposed in certain situations where he is not allowed legally to continue as a Khalifah. The difference between the two situations is that in the first case which removes him from the position of Khalifah, allegiance to him is not obligatory the moment the incident has occurred. But in the second case in which he necessarily has to be deposed, obedience to him remains obligatory until his deposition is completed. There are three matters which effectively change his situation and would remove him from the position of Khalifah according to the first criteria above:

Kwanza: Ikiwa ameacha Uislamu na akang'ang'ania kuritadi.

Firstly: If he left Islam and insisted on apostasy.

Pili: Ikiwa atakuwa mwendawazimu kabisa na asirejeshe akili yake.

Secondly: If he became totally insane and did not regain his sanity.

Tatu: Ikiwa atakuwa mateka mikononi mwa adui mwenye nguvu, asiweze kutoroka kutoka kwao, na kuokolewa kwake kutoka utumwani kusiwezekane.

Thirdly: If he became captive in the hands of an overpowering enemy, and he cannot escape from them and his rescue from captivity is impossible.

Katika kesi hizi tatu, yeye huondolewa kama Khalifah na hupoteza madaraka mara moja, hata kama hakuna uamuzi uliotangazwa wa kumwondoa. Hivyo utiifu kwake si wa lazima, na amri zake hazitekelezwi na wale wanaokuwa na ushahidi wa kuwepo kwa mojawapo ya kesi zilizotajwa hapo juu. Lakini ni lazima ithibitishwe kwamba mojawapo ya kesi hizi ilimtokea, na uthibitisho huu uwasilishwe mbele ya mahakama ya madhalim, ambayo huamua kumwondoa Khalifah na kuhukumu kuwa amevuliwa madaraka, ili Waislamu waweze kumteua Khalifah mwingine.

In these three cases he is removed as Khalifah and is deposed at once, even if no decision was announced to depose him. So his obedience is not obligatory, and his orders are not executed by those who have evidence of the presence of any one of the above cases. But it must be proved that any of these cases did occur to him, and this proof should be in front of the madhalim court, which decides to remove the Khalifah and judges on his deposition so that the Muslims can appoint another Khalifah.

Mambo matano yanayobadilisha hali yake kwa namna isiyomtoa mara moja katika Khilafah, lakini hawezi kubaki kuwa Khalifah, ni haya:

What changes his situation in a way that does not immediately remove him from the Khilafah, but he cannot remain as a Khalifah, are five matters:

Kwanza: Haki yake ilipingwa kwa kuwa wazi kuwa fasiq.

Firstly: His justice was challenged, by becoming openly fasiq.

Pili: Anabadilika kuwa mwanamke au anakuwa mwenye jinsia mbili.

Secondly: He changes to a female or became bisexual.

Tatu: Anapatwa wazimu lakini si kamili, hivyo wakati mwingine hurejea akili yake na wakati mwingine huwa mwendawazimu. Katika hali hii hawezi kuteuliwa mlezi wala naibu kwa ajili yake, kwa sababu mkataba wa Ukhalifa unamhusu yeye binafsi, na hairuhusiwi, katika hali hii, mtu mwingine kuwa naibu wake.

Thirdly: He becomes insane, but not entirely, so he regains his sanity sometimes and madness at other times. In this case no guardian or deputy can be appointed for him, because the contract of the Khilafah falls to him personally, and it is not allowed, in this case, for another person to act as a deputy to him.

Nne: Kutokuwa na uwezo wa kutekeleza majukumu ya Ukhalifa kwa sababu yoyote ile, iwe kwa kupoteza sehemu ya mwili wake, au kwa ugonjwa usiotibika unaomzuia kutekeleza matendo hayo. Jambo la msingi ni kwamba kutokana na kutokuwa na uwezo wa kutekeleza matendo ya Khalifa, mambo ya dini na maslahi ya Waislamu yanapuuzwa. Hili ni munkar ambalo lazima liondolewe, na haliwezi kuondolewa isipokuwa kwa kumwondoa Khalifa ili kuwezesha kuanzishwa kwa Khalifa mwingine badala yake. Hivyo, kumwondoa katika hali hii inakuwa wajib.

Fourthly: Incompetence to accomplish the duties of the Khilafah for any reason, whether due to loss of a part of his body, or an incurable disease that prevents him from performing the deeds. The crucial point is that due to his incompetence to perform the deeds as a Khalifah, the affairs of the deen and the interests of the Muslims are neglected. This is a munkar that must be removed, and it cannot be removed except by disposing the Khalifah in order to facilitate establishing a Khalifah other than him. So deposing him in this case becomes a wajib.

Tano: Kuzidiwa nguvu kunakomfanya asiweze kuendesha mambo ya Waislamu kwa maoni yake kulingana na Shari'ah. Ikiwa nguvu ya kumshinda ilimtiisha kiasi kwamba hakuweza tena kuendesha mambo ya Waislamu kwa maoni yake mwenyewe kulingana na kanuni za Shari'ah, basi anakuwa hana uwezo wa kisheria wa kutekeleza majukumu ya Ukhalifa, hivyo lazima aondolewe madarakani. Jambo hili linaweza kuwazwa katika kesi mbili.

Fifthly: Overpowering that renders him incompetent to run the affairs of Muslims by his opinion according to Shari’ah. If an overpowering force subjected him to the extent that he became unable to run the affairs of the Muslims by his own opinion according to the rules of Shari’ah, then he becomes legally incompetent to carry out the duties of the Khilafah, so he must be deposed. This matter could be conceived in two cases.

Kisa cha kwanza: Mmoja au zaidi ya wajumbe wa baraza lake wamemshinda nguvu au wanamdhibiti, hivyo wanaenda kutekeleza mambo na kumshinda nguvu. Wanaendelea kwa maoni yao, kiasi kwamba hawezi tena kupinga maoni yao na analazimika kwenda kwa mujibu wa maoni hayo. Katika hali hii, inachunguzwa: ikiwa kuna uwezekano wa yeye kujiokoa kutokana na ushawishi wao ndani ya kipindi kifupi cha muda, basi anapewa kipindi hiki kifupi ili awaondoe na ajiondoe kutoka kwao. Akifanya hivyo, basi pingamizi linaondoka na kukosa uwezo kunaondoshwa. Vinginevyo ni lazima aondolewe madarakani.

First case: One or more members of his court overpowered or controlled him, so they go forth to execute the affairs and overpower him. They proceed by their opinion, such that he becomes unable to disagree with them and is compelled to proceed according to their opinion. In this case, it is examined; if he is likely to save himself of their influence within a short period of time then he is given this short period to remove them and rid himself of them. If he did that, then the objection disappears and the incompetence is removed. Otherwise he must be deposed.

Kisa cha pili: Anaingia katika hali inayofanana na kufungwa. Hii ni pale anapoangukia chini ya udhibiti wa adui na chini ya ushawishi wake, ambaye anamwelekeza atakavyo na kumnyang'anya uhuru wake katika kuendesha mambo ya Waislamu. Katika hali hii, inachunguzwa; ikiwa inawezekana kwake kujiweka huru kutoka katika udhibiti wao ndani ya kipindi kifupi cha muda, basi anapewa kipindi hiki kifupi. Ikiwa inawezekana kumkomboa, na kumwokoa kutoka katika udhibiti wa adui, basi pingamizi linaondoka na kutokuwa na uwezo kunaondolewa. Vinginevyo, lazima aondolewe madarakani.

Second case: He falls into a situation similar to captivity. This is when he falls under the control of an enemy and under his influence, who directs him as he likes and deprives him of his will in running the affairs of Muslims. In this case, it is examined; if it is possible for him to free himself from their control within a short period of time, then he is given this short period. If it is possible to free him, and to salvage him from the enemy’s control, then the objection disappears and the incompetence is removed. Otherwise he must be deposed.

Katika hali hizi tano, Khalifa lazima aondolewe madarakani mara tu yoyote kati yake itakapotokea. Hata hivyo, kutokea kwake kunahitaji ushahidi uliothibitika, na ushahidi huo lazima uwasilishwe mbele ya mahakama ya Madhalim. Mahakama hiyo ndiyo inayoamua kufutwa kwa mkataba wa Ukhalifa na kumwondoa Khalifa madarakani. Kisha, Waislamu wanamteua mtu mwingine kuwa Khalifa ndani ya siku tatu.

In these five cases, the Khalifah must be deposed once any one of these occurs. However their occurrence needs a proof that has occurred and such proof should be before the court of madhalim. It judges the cancellation of the Khilafah contract and deposes the Khalifah, so he is deposed and Muslims contract the Khilafah for another person within three days.
