Tengku Fa-iz was elevated to the position of Tengku Mahkota or heir presumptive to the throne of Kelantan upon deliberation of the Kelantan State Council of Succession which was chaired by Tengku Laksamana Kelantan Tengku Abdul Halim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ibrahim.

On 8 December 2016, Tengku Fa-iz was appointed as the Pemangku Raja (Regent) of Kelantan, following the appointment of his eldest brother, Sultan Muhammad V as the fifteenth Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia on 13 December 2016.[4]

Note[]
- ^ Although he is sometimes called heir apparent due to him being appointed Tengku Mahkota, this is not technically true since he may still be displaced in the line of succession by a son born to the current Sultan, however implausible that may seem.
