106. “And now concerning the poor, thou hast written to ask whether it is…” |
|
And now concerning the poor, thou hast written to ask whether it is
permissible to pay them out of the Right of God. This is conditional
upon permission having been granted. In each locality where the Right
of God is being received, details of it must be submitted to His exalted
presence together with a statement describing the position of the needy
ones. Verily He doeth what He willeth and ordaineth what He pleaseth.
If permission were to be given universally it would lead to strife and
give rise to trouble.
