In His Most Exalted Name
Dhou'l-Hijjah 29,1391 AH
His Eminence `Imad al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Hashimian, may his graces last:
I do acknowledge the receipt of your noble letter and noted its contents. You had complained of the opposition of some; it is clear that for every matter in which one is certain that problems will occur he will confront different individuals and motives. One should be concerned with his performance of divine duties and should not be anxious of other matters after doing his duty. May God, the Exalted, amend the matters.
The individuals who, after reminder, do not act upon their duty and religious procedures on the religious funds, you write to me in case they were not awakened through admonition so that I can settle the issue concerning them. Those who receive religious funds in my name and have the excuse of having no access to me, either commit embezzlement or give them to someone else, in spite of the fact that I have representatives who are well known in Qum and Tehran such as my brother, Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Pasandideh in Qum and Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Sayyid Muhammad Sadiq Lavasani in Tehran and Your Eminence in Rafsanjan. Forbid them from their unscrupulous practice. In case they do not desist, take back my permission from them and send them. If they do not give them to you, write to me so that I could settle issue concerning them. I hope for benevolent prayers from you.
Concerning Mr. Falsafi, «1» since his pulpit has been inclined to this humble servant, I do not see it advisable for me to directly send something to him but you are free and have been permitted to give by yourself any amount you think suitable to him for the acknowledgement of his efforts in all aspects. I hope you will not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
