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 Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Muhammad-Husayn Tayyibi- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds such as zakat and the expiation and injustices alms and to spend them on the prescribed cases. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect the blessed share of the Imam (`a) and to spend it sparingly for his sustenance and to spend one-third of the surplus from his expenditures on propagating the sacred religion. He is equally permitted to give half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat, and to remit to this humble servant the remaining two-thirds from the share of the Imam (`a) and the remaining half from the share of the Sadat.

"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.
