[1][2] After his father's death in Jumada II 1010 AH (November 1601) Idris traveled to Istanbul and resided there for some time.
In the end, Muhsin convened the ahl al-hall wal-aqd from the ashraf, scholars, jurists, and notables of Mecca, and they decided to remove Idris from office.
On Thursday, 4 Muharram 1034 AH (16 October 1624) fighting broke out as Muhsin was proclaimed sole Emir of Mecca.
[7][8] Idris fell ill in Safar 1034 (November/December 1624) and left Mecca in poor health on the night of 12 Rabi I (c. 22 December).
News of his death reached Mecca in early Rajab (April), and salat al-gha'ib (the funeral prayer in absentia) was offered for him in the Masjid al-Haram.
