In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; may peace and salutations be upon our Master Muhammad and his pure progeny; and may Allah's curse be upon all their enemies.
It is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Thiqat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Safar-`Ali Shari`at, may his graces last, has been granted my permission to be in charge of the financial and religious law affairs whose supervision is the duty 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 permitted to collect the blessed Share of the Imam (`a ) whose one- third is to be spent as prescribe by religious law while the other two-third is to be remitted to this humble servant for the preservation of the significant religious seminaries.
"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 and mercy be upon him and our pious brethren.
