In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny; and may Allah's curse be upon all their enemies.
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Muhammad Kiya'i-Nezhad, may his graces last, is authorized to take charge of the financial and religious law affairs, that is dependent on a fully qualified faqih. He will be in charge of the mentioned affairs, using caution and after recognizing the subject matter and the precept in a cautious manner. He is also permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), to spend one-third of it for his sustenance in an economical manner and in other religiously prescribed cases, and to remit the two-thirds to this humble servant or my representatives to be spent in the significant 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.
