In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
After praising (God) and offering salutations (to the Prophet and his pure progeny (`a)), it is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Murawwij al-Ahkam Mr. Aqa Sayyid Hashim Fakhruddin Rashti, may Allah always assist him, has been 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 Wali al-Amr, may Allah expedite his advent," so that he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising caution." He is also authorized to collect the blessed Shares and economically spend them for his sustenance and remit the remainder of the noble Sadat's Share for the religiously prescribed area and remit the remaining Share of the Imam (`a) to this humble servant or my representative in Qum.
" And I advise him, may God, the Exalted, assist him, as we have been advised by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in his 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 pious brethren.
