As regards your question concerning the principal residence and subsidiary rulings relevant to it, we wish to let you know that in these days it is not deemed advisable to enact detailed rulings for Ḥuqúqu’lláh. Thus the friends are left free, and whenever no definite rulings exist they may fulfil in each case that which they understand from the texts, and may honour their Ḥuqúqu’lláh obligations according to their own judgement and the promptings of their own conscience.
(4 March 1984, written by the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer, translated from the Persian)
