42. the House of Justice # 21 |
|
|
In referring to the House of Justice in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas,
Bahá’u’lláh does not always explicitly distinguish between
the Universal House of Justice and the Local House of
Justice, both of which institutions are ordained in that
Book. He usually refers simply to “the House of Justice”,
leaving open for later clarification the level or levels of the
whole institution to which each law would apply.

In a Tablet enumerating the revenues of the local
treasury, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá includes those inheritances for which
186
there are no heirs, thus indicating that the House of Justice
referred to in these passages of the Aqdas relating to
inheritance is the local one.
