In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Muharram al-Haram 30,1409 AH

"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 confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Mahdi Mahdawi- may he always succeed- has been granted permission by the undersigned to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds such as zakat, and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God and to spend them as prescribed. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect them and spend the blessed share of the Imam (`a) for his sustenance in economical manner. In case of surplus in his expenditures, he is also permitted to spend one-third of it on propagating the sacred religion and to remit the other two-third to this humble servant. He is also permitted to collect and give half of it to the noble Sadat (descendents of holy prophet; may God multiply their blessed generations) and to remit the other half. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him.
