Permission [Permission for receiving and spending religious taxes]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds; may God's peace and salutation be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon all their enemies.

Next, His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Shaykh Muhammad Buhrani- may His graces last- is permitted on behalf of me to supervise affairs related to religious canons, accept religious taxes, and use them at his own discretion in an economically expedient manner. He is to use one-third of the surplus of the portion of the Imam (`a) and half of the portion of the honorable sadats in instances approved locally and to send the remaining to this person for expenditures related to the lofty ideals of the pure Islam.

"And I admonish him, may God Almighty assist him, as we have been admonished by the pious predecessors to keep company of piety, to evade carnal desires and to be cautious." May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon him and our faithful brethren.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini.
