Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

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

Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh `Abbas Shirazi- May his gracings last long- is authorized on my behalf to take charge of financial affairs and collect religious sums and spend half of the holy shares of the Imam of the age (`a) on propagation of the sacred religion and eminent sadat (descendent of holy prophet) - May God increase their noble offspring- and sending the other half to me for revival of the pure appellation of Islam.

And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as the pious predecessors have admonished us to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and after-world affairs. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren!
