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 Hujjat al-Islam Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Arsanjani (may his blessings last) is granted 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, taking caution." He is also my proxy in collecting the religious taxes and payments such as the legal alms, charities and especially the two blessed Shares. He is to spend a half of it in the specified religious ways, and in case it is not sufficient, two-thirds of it in his district, and to deliver the remainder to this humble servant to be expended in the seminary. He is also my proxy, allowed to circulate, postpone as he finds fit, collect and deliver.
" And I advise him (may God always 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.
