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 Aqa Hfo! aj Sayyid `Ali Shahcheraghi- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds and to use zakat and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God for the prescribed religious expenditures. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect and spend them sparingly for his sustenance. In relation to the surplus, he is equally permitted to spend half of which on the prescribed cases as well as to give to the noble Sadat in the locality, and to remit the other half to this humble servant to be spent in promoting the pure word of Islam.

"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.
