In His Most Exalted Name
Rajab 30,1396 AH
The Honorable `Abdullah Islami, may God assist him:
1- I have received your esteemed letter, and wish to inform you that the previous receipts have been sent already. Some of the items are doubtful. The letter will be in safe keeping until the matter is clear.
2- You are permitted to pay the amount, for which you had sought my permission for your son, exactly in the manner stated.
3- Give 320 to the Sadat. Apparently, it has become common in Iran to say that they should not be given, and that I have prohibited it. This is not true except in some exceptional cases. In any event, please give to certain Sadat.
4- I received the 70 that you had sent in dollars; I have written this repeatedly.
5- The person who wants to take into account about four to five thousand that he has loaned to some of his relations, is permitted to do so. However, this should not be repeated.
6- Permit those people who have taken something from the office, and are not in a position to return it, to give alms on the owner's behalf.
7- Concerning the permission you had wanted for active and religious people and only for augmenting their means of subsistence, you are allowed to give permission with due caution and courtesy.
8- You are permitted to assist in any way you deem fit the people who take letters to Syria, etc.
In conclusion, I pray for your success. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
