Extract from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

107. “According to the explicit text of the Most Holy Book the amounts offered…”
According to the explicit text of the Most Holy Book the amounts offered for the Ḥuqúq should be deposited in a place and be disbursed, as necessary. However thou shouldst not require anyone there to offer the Ḥuqúq unless someone is prepared to do so willingly and of his own free choice.
