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 `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Haj Mirza `Ata'ullah Sharif Isfahani (may his blessings 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 His Eminence Master of the Age (may Allah expedite his glorious advent)." So, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising caution." His Eminence is also permitted to collect the blessed Imam's (`a) Share, spending it on his own living, and one-third of the surplus in the religiously prescribed area and on exalting the pure word of Islam. He is to send the remaining two-thirds to this humble servant to be expended in the blessed seminaries (may God Almighty protect them from evil incidents).
" And I hope His Eminence (may his blessings last) will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren.
