Heir presumptive[edit]

Why is Prince Rahim referred to as the heir presumptive? As the oldest son, wouldn't he be the heir apparent to the Imam? Does anyone know? 66.82.9.61 08:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Brian[reply]

It is the prerogative of the present Imam to appoint his successor from amongst any of his male descendents. To date, he has not made his choice public; therefore, none of his children can be designated heir apparent. Cimm[talk] 16:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
