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 Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh `Abdul-Husayn Mahdawi Hamedani- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of financial affairs whose administration needs the permission of a competent jurists during the occultation of the Imam of the Time (may God expedite his glorious advent). He is also permitted to collect the religious funds such as zakat and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God and to use them for the religiously prescribed expenditures. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect and spend the blessed share of the Imam(`a) sparingly for his sustenance. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to spend one-third of it on the religiously prescribed cases. Concerning the share of the noble Sadat, he is equally permitted to collect and give half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit the remainders to this humble servant to spend on promoting Islam. May God's peace and mercy be upon him, us and the righteous servants of God.
