In His Most Exalted Name

His Eminence Sayyid al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Mir Younusi, may his graces last:
Your noble missive was received. Concerning the person who wants to give more than one-third himself, as I understand, I do not think that he has paid what he already owes me. In case he has paid his debt, you are authorized to give him permission for one half. As for others, in case they refer, you are authorized to permit up to one-third only if they pay the balance, otherwise they are not authorized. I hope for your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
