In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
" Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may 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 Maladh al-Anam Aqa Shaykh Muhammad `Ali Sharifi Furdou'i (may God always assist him) is verily endowed with goodness, piety and trustworthiness. He 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 Almighty expedite his glorious advent) ." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising." His Eminence is also allowed to collect the blessed Imam's (`a) Share, spending it on his own living sparingly and to deliver the remainder to this humble servant to be expended in the blessed seminary.
" And I advise him (may God Almighty assist him) - as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to be pious, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld affairs. 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.
