In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
"Praise be 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 confirmed that His Eminence Thiqqat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Sayyid Taqi Mousawi Darche'i- may he always succeed- has been granted permission by the undersigned to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds such as zakat, and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God and to spend them as prescribed. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is also permitted to collect and spend them on his sustenance in economical manner. In case of surplus in his expenditure, he is also permitted to give half of the share of the Sadat to the needy Sadat, to spend one-third of the share of the Imam (`a) in propagating the sacred religion of Islam and to remit the remainder to this humble servant.
"And I advise him (may God, the Exalted, assist him) as we have been advised by our predecessors to adhere to piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in his worldly and afterworld affairs." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and upon our faithful brethren.
