Permission [Permission regarding receiving and expenditures of religious tax affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

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

Next, His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Sayyid Rida `Alamulhuda who has spent a period of his noble life in studying religious sciences, is herewith permitted on my behalf to supervise the religious tax affairs and to accept religious sums. He is authorized to spend half of the portion of the honorable sadat and one-third of the blessed portion of the Imam- may God's peace be upon him- locally and to send the balance to me for expenditure in connection with the lofty ideals of pure Islam.

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