一位哈里发如果个人情况发生了需要将其罢免的变化，应当立即被罢免；或者，在某些情况下，哈里发在法律上不被允许继续担任哈里发职位，也必须被罢免。两种情况的区别在于：在第一种情况下，即使他被移出哈里发职位，事件发生的那一刻起，效忠于他也就不再是义务。但在第二种情况下，即他必须被罢免时，在罢免程序完成之前，服从他仍然是义务。有三件事会实际改变他的处境，并依据上述第一条标准将他从哈里发职位上移除。

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:

首先：如果他离开伊斯兰教并坚持叛教。

Firstly: If he left Islam and insisted on apostasy.

第二：如果他完全疯狂，且没有恢复理智。

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