Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

After praising (God) and offering salutations (to the Prophet and his pure progeny (`a)), it is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Umdat al-A`lam wa Murawwij al-Ahkam Mr. Aqa Sayyid Mahdi Makki Kashani, may Allah always assist him, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs, recognizing the subject matter and precepts in a cautious manner. He is also permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), economically spend the same for his sustenance and remit the remaining Share of the noble Sadat to the local known religious Sadat, remitting the remainder of the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) to this humble servant or to my representatives in Qum.

" And I advise him, may God, the Exalted, assist him, as we have been advised by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in his worldly and afterworld affairs. I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our pious brethren.
