Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Muharram al-Haram 19,1403 AH

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

His Eminence Thiqqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Aqa Shaykh Muhammad-Taqi `Abdous, who spent a part of his honorable life in studying the religious sciences and propagating the sacred tenets is on my behalf authorized to take charge of financial and religious law affairs and taking religious funds. He is further authorized to utilize the portion of the" sadat" locally and to pay the needy sadat as well as to utilize half of the portion of the Imam- may God's peace be upon them- for propagation of the sacred tenets and specified cases. He is to send the other half portion to me for establishing and maintaining of the sacred seminaries.

I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to avoid carnal desires and to be cautious. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren!
