In His Most Exalted Name
Muharram 17,1389 AH
His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Mir Younusi, may his graces last.
Your respected letter was received. I pray for your good health and success. It was mentioned," A person owes one thousand tumans, the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) and desires to pay some of it to his poor family members. Is he authorized to pay one-third of it to his poor and faithful (family)?" He is authorized to pay one-third of it to his poor, pious and religious family members and remit the remainder. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
