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' wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Murtada Mutahhari, may his graces last, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs whose supervision depends on the permission of a fully-qualified jurist during the occultation of 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 authorized to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) and spend one-half of it in such cases as are beneficial for the exaltation of Islam, the promotion of the sacred precepts and the elevation of the foundation of the sacred religion; and to remit the other half to this humble being to be spent at the significant religious seminaries. He is also empowered to have funds change hands, allow grace periods as deemed necessary and in collecting, 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.
