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) BrianReply

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
