In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Haj Mahmoud Muttaqiyan, may Allah assist him:
Your noble letter has been received. The cases whose account is exactly unclear for you and in need of lapse of time are that which you have certainly given in usury; divide them into five parts and you are permitted to postpone the uncertain case until the account becomes clear. You are authorized in the Share of the Sadat in the same manner that you received permission. As to the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), it is not permissible for you to pay it to anyone other than my representative, His Eminence Haj Shaykh Muhammad-Sadiq Tehrani; it is not acceptable. May you be successful and assisted by God, the Exalted.
