The ruling on removing the one in authority due to open sinfulness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the one in authority removed due to open sinfulness, and is he stripped of his authority because of his committing certain crimes?

Answer:
Who said this? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. It is obligatory to be patient with him and to advise him, as long as he has not left Islam.
