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-`Ali Ansari Kermani- may his graces last- has been authorized on my behalf to take charge of the financial affairs, which during the period of occultation of the Master of the Age (may our souls be his ransom) is the responsibility of the competent jurist. He is also permitted to collect the religious funds and to use zakat and the expiation and injustices alms in the religiously prescribed expenditures. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is equally permitted to collect the blessed share of the Imam (`a) and spend it sparingly for his sustenance. In case of surplus, he is likewise permitted to spend one-third of it in propagating the sacred religion. He has to give also half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit what remains from the two shares to this humble servant to be spent in promoting the pure word of Islam.
"And I advise him- may God Almighty assist him- as we have been advised by our pious predecessors to adhere to piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious in his worldly and afterworld affairs." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brothers.
