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 Haj Aqa Hashim Rasouli Mahallati (may his blessings last and God multiply his like) who has spent a part of his worthy life acquiring knowledge, 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 Master of the Age (may God Almighty expedite his glorious advent);" so, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs, using the necessary caution." He is also allowed to collect the blessed Imam's (`a) Share and the blessed Sadat's Share (may God multiply their blessed progeny), spending a part on his own living sparingly, delivering it to its specified cases, and to spend one-third of the blessed Imam's (`a) Share in promoting the sacred religion (peace be upon its propagators) after deducting his own expenses, and to deliver the other two-thirds to me 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 peace be upon you.
