While Al-Baghdadi had handed down operational control, he remained the Caliph.
It seems likely that the new ISIS leader would have been released around the same time.
While the Caliph is dead, it's likely that Qardash will also try to fill those shoes.
Shiite Muslims claim that being a Mecca notable by ancestry is not enough to become caliph, saying that potential contenders need to hail strictly from Ahl al-Bayt, the family of the Prophet.
Interestingly, Abdullah Qardash also hails from Quraysh and from Ahl al-Bayt, makes him an eligible future caliph, should Baghdadi decide to bequeath power to him, or should he assume it himself, with or without Baghdadi's consent.
Apart from lineage, conditions for becoming a caliph are fairly straightforward and also apply to Qardash.
The caliph must be a Muslim male, is required to lead the masses during prayer and prove knowledgeable in Islamic jurisprudence and history, two traits that also apply to Qardash, a former Iraqi officer under Saddam schooled at the College of Imam Al-Adham Abu Hanifa al-Noueimi in Mosul.
