[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The distinguished personage, the sole leader, crusader and devotee of Islam, Hadrat Ayatullah al-`Uzma Aqa Khomeini, may his benign existence for the Muslims endure:
I would like to inform your honor that there are people who collect the money for the Share of the Imam (`a), some of whom have your authorization, some represent them, and some others do not have your authorization but take money nevertheless without bringing the receipts for this money taken as the Imam's (`a) Share. Should money as the Share of the Imam (`a) be given to these people or not? And do the amounts given to such people absolve the payers of their obligations?
Yours humbly, Dadshafa'i Qoul Khoulishgi]
In His Most Exalted Name
Those who are not authorized by me should not be given the religious law funds. Those doing so will not be absolved of their obligations. The funds may be given to those who have been authorized by me, and the receipt demanded. If my receipt is not presented, the funds they gave should be taken back. Subsequent to this, funds should not be given to such people as the payers will not be absolved from their obligations.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
