As to the specific concern that prompted your inquiry, the use of funds
from Ḥuqúqu’lláh, the disbursement of which is entirely
at the discretion of the Head of the Faith, entails a wide range of
applications that will eventually address various needs of society in
ways that will also contribute toward the solution of economic problems.
However, it is much too early in the worldwide observance of the Law,
and is not possible in the current state of the Bahá’í
community or of society, for the House of Justice to elaborate on these
details. For the time being, the Ḥuqúqu’lláh is used
principally for the work of the Bahá’í community,
which, of course, includes its initial efforts at social and economic
development.
