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 `Umdat al-A`lam wa `Imad al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Fadlullah Mutlaq, may his graces last, 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 permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) and economically spend one-third of it for his sustenance and remit the two-third of it to this humble servant or to my representatives to be spent in the religious seminaries.
"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.
