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 Thiqat al-Islam wa `Imad al-`Alam Haj Shaykh Husayn Shari`ati- may he always succeed- has been granted permission by the undersigned to take charge of the financial affairs, to collect the religious funds and spend the likes of zakat, and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God as prescribed. Regarding the two blessed shares, he is equally permitted to collect and spend the blessed share of the Imam (`a) for his sustenance in economical manner. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to spend one-third of the blessed share of the Imam (`a) on propagating the sacred religion, to give half of the share of the Sadat to the deserving Sadat and to remit the rest of the two shares to this humble servant.
"And I admonish him (may God, the Exalted, assist him) as we have been admonished by our pious 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.
