In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
After praising (God) and extending salutations (to the Prophet (s) and his pure progeny (`a)), it is hereby confirmed that His Eminence `Imad al-`Ulama' al-A`lam wa Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Haj Shaykh Sadiq Khalkhali, may his blessings last long, is permitted on my behalf to take charge of the financial and religious law affairs which is among the duties of a jurisprudent in the absence of the Imam (`a); and is also allowed to receive the blessed Shares and spend the Sadat's Share and half of the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) in the prescribed areas and send the other half to me or to my proxy in Qum.
" I advise him, may God assist him, as I have been advised by the pious predecessors, to keep company of piety and to evade carnal desires; and pin my hopes on his prayers and advice." May peace be upon him and upon the righteous servants of God.
