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 Shaykh Asadullah Khadimi (may his graces last and God multiply the likes of him) - who has spent a part of his valuable life acquiring religious knowledge and who is one of the respected propagators of the luminous religion, 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 Wali al-Amr (may God expedite his glorious advent) ;" so, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs using the necessary caution." He is also permitted to collect the blessed Imam's (`a) Share, spending a part on his own living sparingly and a third of what remains on promoting the religion, and to deliver the other two-thirds to this humble servant to be expended in the blessed 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 all affairs; and I hope he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers. '' May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren. «1»
