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. Haj Sayyid Yadullah Sharbiani, may Allah always assist him, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs which depends on the permission of a fully-qualified jurist, after recognizing the precepts, subject and the exercise of caution. He is also permitted to collect the blessed Shares for his sustenance in an economical manner, to deliver the surplus of the Sadat's Share to the poor and pious Sadat, to remit the remainder to this humble servant or to my representatives, and to receive funds receipts to be passed on to the payers of those funds.

"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.
