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.
His Eminence `Imad al-`Ulama' al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Mirza Baqir Aqa Bostanabadi, may his blessings 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 the Wali al-Amr, may Allah expedite his glorious 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), spend one-half of it on the prescribed cases on whatever way he deemed appropriate, and to remit the other half to be spent in the significant religious seminaries. He is also authorized in having the funds change hands and in giving grace periods as he deems convenient as well as in collecting the funds, spending and remitting in the manner mentioned above.
"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.
