Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

"Praise is to Allah, the Lord of the worlds; may peace and salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and may God's curse be upon all their enemies."

It is hereby confirmed that His Excellency Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Isma`il Salihi Mazandarani- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds and to sparingly use from the holy share of Imam (`a) for his own sustenance. Regarding the surplus, he is allowed to spend a third of it on the religiously prescribed cases and remit the rest to me. Regarding the share of Sadat, may God multiply the likes of them, he is authorized to spend half of it for the needy Sadat and remit the other half to me. In case of surpluses in the expenditures, he is also permitted to spend one-third of it in propagating the sacred religion. He is also permitted to give half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat, and to remit the remainders of the two blessed shares to this humble servant.

"And I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been advised by our predecessors to adhere to piety and to evade carnal desires." May God's peace and mercy be upon him and upon our faithful brothers.
