In His Most Exalted Name
Jamadi al-Awwal 9,1397 AH
After extending my greetings and salutations, I would like to inform you that I have received your esteemed letter and that I pray to the Almighty to assist you and give you success. The letter mentions permission: You are permitted to collect and utilize the various types of funds for religious law purposes. However, more than half of the Imam's (`a) blessed Share is not advisable. You should know that very few people have permission for half, the permission usually being given for one-third. Please do not forget me in your benevolent prayers. May peace be upon you.
