In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
After praising (God) and offering salutations (to the Prophet and his pure progeny (`a)), it is hereby confirmed that His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Muhammad-`Ali Rabbani, may his graces last, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is dependent on the permission of a fully-qualified jurist," after recognizing the precepts and the subject matter in a cautious manner." He is also authorized to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) and spend one-third of it in the religiously prescribed area, including his sustenance in an economical manner, to remit the two-thirds to this humble servant to be spent at the significant religious seminaries, and to give the receipts of funds to the payers.
"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.
