Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
" Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and may His curse be upon all their enemies."
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam, the esteemed orator, Aqa Shaykh Sadiq Ihsanbakhsh (may his graces last and God multiply the like of him) who has spent a part of his worthy life acquiring knowledge and virtues, and, who is now one of the venerated propagators of Islam and one of the esteemed scholars, is granted my permission to be in charge of financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is the duty of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of the Wali al-Amr and Honor of the Day (may God expedite his glorious advent and make us his ransom)." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs, using the necessary caution." His Eminence is also allowed to collect the two blessed Shares delivering the Sadat's Share to its prescribed area, spending the blessed Imam's (`a) Share for his own living sparingly, expending a third of the remaining for the promotion of the sacred religion of Islam and exalting the Word «1» of God, and to deliver the other two-thirds to this humble servant to be expended in the seminary.
" And I advise him (may God assist him)- as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires, and to be meticulous in his worldly and afterworld affairs; and I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him.
