[His Eminence Ayatullah al-`Uzma Haj Aqa Rouhullah Khomeini, may his sublime presence endure:
May peace be upon you. Perhaps you can with your blessed memory recall that a few years ago a group of religious and faithful individuals under the leadership of Hadrat Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Mahmoud Halabi had regular meetings in order to combat the man-made Baha'ism. In these meetings, there included teaching of useful topics where they familiarize the participants with the high station of the Living Imam (`a).
Recently the domain of the activities of these meetings has surpassed Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, and other important areas; it has even reached the remote villages. By the special grace of the Hadrat they have been able to guide some 500 members of the misled sect of Baha'ism and convert them to the sacred religion of Islam. They also were able to save a great number of sceptic individuals who were in the danger of falling prey of that group. First of all, what is the opinion of your blessed Hadrat Ayatullah about the group and the necessary action? Second, how do you see empowering of this sect and cooperating with them? Third, if need be, could the religious funds be used in this way or not? Would you please express your blessed opinion very explicitly? May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.]
In His Most Exalted Name
In the abovementioned assumption, the gentlemen's action is appreciated by and meets Almighty God's consent. Cooperation with them is also to the satisfaction of the Living Imam- may Allah expedite his advent. The faithful have the permission to give to them from the religious funds such as zakats and other lawful funds. If need be, you are authorized to pay to them from the one-third of the blessed Share of the Imam (`a). Of course, this should be done under the supervision of committed individuals and if His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Halabi- may his blessings last- can do this, let the funds be paid under his supervision. «2» I pray to Almighty God for their success.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
