Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

"Praise be 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 `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Ghulam-Husayn Ghulami- may he always succeed- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs and to collect the religious funds and spend zakat and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God on their own cases. Regarding the blessed share of the Imam (`a), he is permitted to collect and spend it sparingly for his sustenance. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to use one-third of it for the prescribed expenditures and to remit two-thirds of it to this humble servant. He may equally give one-half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit to this humble servant the other half.

"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 our faithful brothers.
