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 peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and may God's curse be upon all their enemies."

It is herby confirmed that His Excellency Thiqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Shaykh Muhammad Muhammadi Yazdi- may he always succeed- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of financial affairs, to collect religious funds such as zakat, and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God and to use them for the religiously prescribed expenditures. He is also permitted to collect the two blessed shares and spend sparingly the blessed share of the Imam (`a) for his sustenance. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to use one-third of it for the religiously prescribed local expenditures and to use half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit the remainders to this humble servant.

"And I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been advised by our pious predecessors to adhere 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 the righteous servants of God.
