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 Murawwij al-Ahkam Aqa Shaykh Zayn al-`Abidin Dhou'l-Faqari Isfahani (may God always assist him) , who is one of the esteemed scholars and promoters of Islamic precepts, and who is a trustee endowed with piety and righteousness, is granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is the duty of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of the twelfth Imam (may God Almighty expedite his advent) ." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs, using the necessary caution." His Eminence is also allowed to collect the blessed Imam's (`a) Share and the noble Sadat's Share, delivering it to its prescribed area, and to spend the sacred Imam's Share on his own living sparingly and to remit the rest to this humble servant to be expended in the seminary.
" And I advise him- as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in those affairs; and I hope he (may God Almighty assist him) will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace and mercy be upon him.
