Permission [Permission in financial and religious law affairs]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

After praising (God) and extending salutations (to the Prophet (s)), let it be known to all the believers of Herat and its districts that His Venerable Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam Aqa Haj Shaykh Muhammad Hasan Ayati together with His Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam Aqa Haj Shaykh Ahmad `Ali Sa`idi under the supervision of His Venerable Eminence Murawwij al-Ahkam Aqa Haj Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Ghaznavi, may God assist him, are my representatives in financial and religious law affairs which depends on the permission of a fully-qualified jurist while exercising caution, and in collecting the blessed Share of the Imam (`a), half of which they should spend on the prescribed religious law cases, remitting the other half to me. They should also collect the receipts and deliver them to the owners of the money.

"And I advise them, may God always assist them, as we have been advised by the pious predecessors, to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be meticulous in the worldly and afterworld affairs; and I hope they will not forget me in their benevolent prayers." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon them and upon God's pious servants.
