In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To His Eminence Imam Khomeini- may his blessings last,
You are respectfully notified that, in view of clause 8 of Article 49 of the Constitution stipulating that" the acquired funds shall be at the discretion of the Wali al-Amr," the Islamic Revolutionary Courts and the Public Prosecutor's Office demand that a bank account be opened so that these funds can be deposited in it. You are therefore requested to determine the account. It is to be added that the cases in the prosecutor's offices and courts are discussed for investigation; the honorable judges know that the accused have not paid their khumses for the usuries on earnings or the two khums on the mixture of lawful and unlawful earnings. Will Your Eminence authorize the honorable judges in such cases to take one khums or two khumses from them and to deposit the same in the bank account you declared in relation to the implementation of Article 49, or the same shall be deposited in a different account? It is clear that the deposited funds will be spent in religious matters as you would determine.
Sayyid Muhammad Khoeyniha]
In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Khoeyniha, the Public Prosecutor,
A bank account in the name of the Public Prosecutor described as pertaining to Article 49 of the Constitution shall be opened so that anything that is related to the said article shall be deposited therein.
Another account in the same name described as two shares (of khums) shall be opened so that the khums and two khums of individuals who have not paid the religious funds shall be deposited therein. Yet, such cases shall be
investigated more meticulously so that no one's right is God forbid, ever trampled. May you be successful by the will of God, the Exalted.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
