Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Praise be to Allah, 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 Sayyid A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Sayyid Kiramatullah Malik Husayn, may his graces last, is hereby authorized by me to take charge of the financial and religious law affairs that are the duty of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of Wali al-Amr (`a), may Allah expedite his glorious advent. He will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while observing necessary precaution; he is also permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) in which one third is to be spent as prescribed by religious laws in anyway he deems advisable and the other two-thirds is to be sent to this humble servant for the purpose of preserving the blessed seminaries.

" 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 that he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and our pious brethren.
