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 Muhammad-Hasan Thaqafi- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs and to collect the religious funds and spend zakat and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God on the religious expenditures. He is also permitted to collect the two blessed shares and to spend sparingly the share of the Imam (`a) for his sustenance. In case of surplus, he is permitted to spend one-third of it on the religiously prescribed cases and to remit the other two-thirds to this humble servant. He should give half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit the other half.
"And I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been advised by our predecessors to adhere to piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld affairs." May peace be upon him and the righteous servants of God.
