Permission [Permission in the financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

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

It is hereby confirmed that his Excellency Thiqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Shaykh Salman Ghaffari- may he always succeed- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds and spend the zakat and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God on the religiously prescribed cases. Regarding the blessed share of the Imam (`a), he is also permitted to collect and spend it sparingly for his own sustenance. In relation to the surplus from the expenditure, he is also permitted to spend half of it on the religiously prescribed cases and to remit the other half to this humble servant to be spent for the exaltation of the pure word of Islam. He can also give half of the share of the Sadat to the respectable Sadat and remit the other half.

"And I advise him, may God Almighty assist him, as we have been advised by our predecessors to keep company to piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld affairs." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and upon our faithful brothers.
