Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

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 God's curse be upon all their enemies."
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Rukn al-Islam Haj Sayyid Ibrahim Khalkhali (may his graces last) 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 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 rest of the noble Sadat's Share to its religiously prescribed area. He is to spend one-third of the blessed Imam's Share on promoting the word of Islam and for the promoters of the obligatory law of Islam, and to deliver the remainder to this humble to be expended in the seminary. He can also act as my proxy in circulating, collecting and delivering (the funds).
" And I advise him (may God Almighty assist him) -as we have been advised by the pious predecessors- to follow the path 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. «1»
