Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Dhu'l-Qa`dah 24,1405 AH

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

And then, `Imad al-A`lam and Thiqqat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Muhammad Turabi- May his blessings last long- is authorized on my behalf to take charge of religious law and financial affairs which characterizes fully-qualified wali-ye faqih during occultation of the Imam of the Age (May God hastens his glorious reappearance) and collection of the blessed shares and spending the blessed share of Imam (May God's peace be upon him) on his expenses in economical manner and one-third of the excess and half of the share of sadat for the prescribed religious cases and returning the rest to me for spending on revival of the pure word of Islam.

And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as the pious predecessors, 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!
