Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds; may peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny; and may Allah's curse be upon all their enemies.

His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Behjati Ardekani, may his graces last, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is dependent on the permission of a fully-qualified jurist," after recognizing the precepts and the subject matter in a cautious manner." He is also authorized to collect the blessed portion of the Imam (`a) and spend the same for his sustenance in an economical manner. He is to remit the excess amount to this humble servant or to my representative to be spent at the significant religious seminaries. He is also authorized in having the funds change hands, allow grace period as deemed necessary and collect, spend, and remit in the manner mentioned above.

"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." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and our pious brethren.
