[There is a person who, as a habit during the past years, had been remitting some Share to you or to Mr. Ishraqi «1» through me. In the meantime, being authorized by Your Eminence or the latter, he had been distributing the one-third of the Share of the Imam (`a) among his poor relatives. Since Mr. Ishraqi is not within reach, this person requests your authorization in order for him to continue acting as he did during the previous years. He wants to distribute the one-third Share, which amounts to 412 tumans, in the same manner. If possible, would you please write him an unconditional authorization with respect to the annual Share?
Another issue: A few years ago, this person had paid four hundred tumans to a learned man on account of the Share of the Imam (`a) and before a repayment of the same, the learned man had died. What is to be done in this case? Finally, Mr. Walid conveys his greetings and humbly pleads for your prayers.

In His Most Exalted Name
He is authorized to act as he did before and remit the other two-thirds to my representatives in Qum. My representative in Qum is Mr. Islami, «2» who, in the absence of Mr. Ishraqi, resides in my house in Qum. As for the amount that had changed hands through the person in question, if it has been done through a power of attorney from the jurist, it is due that jurist. And if it was drawn to the order of that person himself, then it should, as a precautionary measure and with the permission of the religious judge, be given to that person's heir. «3»
