[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Eminence the Grand Marja` of the Shi`ah World Hadrat Ayatullah al-`Uzma Aqa Khomeini- may his sublime presence endure:
After offering my salutations and greetings, I am honored to request your view on the following: There are individuals who have previously had Your Eminence's authorization to collect the blessed share of the Imam (`a). These individuals have, during the past years, delivered sermons in the pulpit in favor of the incumbent regime and against the religion. They have also committed unreligious acts. The question is, are these individuals still bound to their course of action and should they be given the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) or not? May Allah perpetuate your presence.]
In His Most Exalted Name
Those who have confirmed or do confirm the oppressed regime, and act contrary to the pure religion, if they have any authorization from me, is null and void; the faithful should not give religious funds to them, particularly the blessed Share of the Imam (`a)." May Almighty God protect us from our inner carnal desires."
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
