In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Rajab al-Khayr 8,1409 AH
"Praise to be 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 Qurban-`Ali Shahmiri- may his graces last- 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. He is equally permitted to collect and spend the blessed Share of the Imam (`a) on his sustenance in economical manner. In case of surplus, he is also permitted to spend one-third of it on propagating the sacred religion and to remit the other two-third. He is similarly permitted to collect the share of the Sadat and to give half of it to the noble Sadat and to remit the other half to this humble servant.
"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 and mercy be upon him and upon our faithful brethren.
