Permission [Permission in the financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

"Praise to be 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 Eminence Thiqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Haj Shaykh Muhammad-Taqi Murwarid- may his graces last- has been granted permission by the undersigned to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds and spend the zakat, the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God as prescribed. As regards the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect and spend sparingly the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) for his own sustenance in economical manner. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to spend one-third for propagation of the sacred law of Islam. In case of the share of the Sadat, he is also permitted to give half of it to the needy Sadat and remit the remaining shares to this humble servant to be spent for promotion of Islam.

"And I advise him (may God, the Exalted, assist him) as we have been advised by our predecessors to adhere to piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in his worldly and afterworld affairs." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and upon our faithful brethren.
