What Is the Legal Ruling on the Removal of a Guardian?
The removal of a guardian in Islamic jurisprudence and Iranian law generally means **revoking the guardian’s authority or responsibility over a person or their property**. The ruling depends on the circumstances and reasons, but in general:
In Case of Abuse or Negligence by the Guardian
If the guardian fails to perform their duties properly, mismanages the ward’s property, or neglects the ward’s interests, the court can remove them.
In Case of Incompetence or Moral Corruption
A guardian lacking ethical, financial, or physical competence to manage the ward’s affairs can be dismissed.
Legal Process of Removal
The removal of a guardian is carried out **by court order**, and after reviewing the reasons, the court appoints another person as the replacement guardian.
Legal References
Relevant provisions regarding guardianship and the removal of guardians can be found in the **Civil Code of Iran (Articles 1213 to 1234)** and the **Civil Procedure Code** concerning guardianship.
In summary, the removal of a guardian is a **judicial action to protect the rights of the ward** and cannot be executed without a court ruling.
