[In His Most Exalted Name
As Your Highness may well remember, sometime ago a religious question regarding those who want to spend one-third of the blessed share of the Imam (`a) on constructing schools was posed, to which your Eminence provided the following answer:
"In His Most Exalted Name
The esteemed believers are hereby granted permission to spend one-third of the share of the Imam (`a) on constructing schools."
As I understand it, anyone can spend this one-third of the share for this purpose. Now, kindly clarify the following questions:
1. Can all esteemed believers render assistance to training and education through this?
2. Is this permission specifically given to those whom your Eminence have authorized to spend one-third of the blessed share of the Imam (`a)?
Meanwhile, by this permission relatively handsome assistances have been rendered to constructing schools. Requests have also come from people in different provinces seeking permission to spend one-third of the blessed share of the Imam (`a) on construction of schools in their area. If possible the surplus will be sent to the deprived regions, pending your Eminence's order.
In need of your prayer,
Sayyid Kazim Akrami
Training and Education Minister

In His Most Exalted Name
As I have stated earlier, those who are personally permitted to spend a portion of the share of the Imam (`a) on religiously prescribed cases can extend assistance out of its surplus to the Education Ministry to provide better training and educational materials for their children. It is hoped that the honorable Education Minister and other officials succeed in this valuable service.
