"Judiciary is one of the most critical offices, and in Islamic jurisprudence, numerous conditions have been stipulated for its assumption to ensure the realization of social justice and the protection of rights.

Jurists and legal scholars hold differing opinions regarding the extent to which these factors impact judicial competence. This research, employing a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizing library resources, seeks to induce and analyze the jurisprudential views of Islamic schools and the opinions of legal scholars concerning the grounds for the removal of judges and their respective impacts. By synthesizing and analyzing these jurisprudential views, it can be concluded that most individual factors affecting a judge's competence to adjudicate claims result in the judge's removal without the need for a ruler's decree; however, non-individual factors that do not directly affect the judge's competence cannot be considered grounds for removal and require a formal decree from the ruler. In Iran, the recruitment of judges is governed by the 'Law on the Selection of Judiciary Judges' (passed on May 4, 1982) and the 'Civil Service Law' (Articles 14-29).
