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 God's curse be upon all their enemies."
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Sayyid Muhammad Husayni Kashani (may his graces last) 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 Living Imam (may God expedite his advent) ." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising caution." He is also permitted to collect the two blessed Shares, spending them in part on his own living sparingly, delivering the remainder of the noble Sadat's (may God multiply their blessed descendants) Share to the religiously prescribed areas. He is allowed to spend about one-third of what remains of the blessed Imam's (`a) Share promoting the Word of God and to send the remainder to this humble servant to be expended in the seminary (may God protect it from evil incidents) .
" And I advise him (may God Almighty assist him) - as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires, and to be cautious in the 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.
