In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds; praise and peace be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny and may God's damnation be upon their enemies all.
It is hereby confirmed that His Venerable Eminence `Imad al-`Ulama' wal-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Haj Shaykh `Abbas-`Ali `Amid Zanjani, may his bounties last long, is 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 the Living Imam (may God, the Exalted, hasten his glorious advent)," so, he will be in charge of the mentioned affairs while exercising caution." He is also permitted to collect the religious law funds and even the blessed Share of the Imam, peace and salutations be upon him, spending half of it on the prescribed religious law cases, and remitting the balance to me or to my known legal representative in Qum for the maintenance of the seminaries.
"And I advise him, may God always 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 the worldly and afterworld affairs; and I hope that he will not forget me in his benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon him and upon our faithful brethen.
