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 Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Muhammad-`Ali Shar`i, may his graces last, who spent a long period of his life on learning the religious sciences, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs and the blessed Shares and spend the Sadat's Share in the corresponding cases, to spend one-half of the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) for the promotion of the sacred laws of Islam [shari`ah] and for his sustenance in an economical manner, and to remit the other half to this humble servant to be spent in the sacred religious seminaries. I hope I have been truthful in whatever affairs I have carried on.
" 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.
