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 hereby confirmed that His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Haj Shaykh Ahmad Azari-Qummi- may his graces last- has been granted permission by the undersigned to take charge of the financial affairs, which at the period of occultation of the Master of the Age( may our souls be his ransom) is dependent on the permission of the duly competent jurist. He is also permitted to collect the religious funds such zakat, and the expiation and injustices alms of the servants of God and to spend them as religiously prescribed. He is equally permitted to collect and spend the blessed share of the Imam (`a) on his sustenance in economical manner. If there is surplus, he is permitted to spend half of it on propagating the sacred religion of Islam and to remit the other half. He is similarly permitted to collect the share of the noble Sadat (may Allah multiply their blessed generations) and to give half of it to the needy Sadat and to remit the other half.
"And I admonish him (may God, the Exalted, assist him) as we have 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.
