81. “When funds are offered by a believer in honour of another…”
When funds are offered by a believer in honour of another Bahá’í, the donor should be informed that it cannot be accepted as a Ḥuqúqu’lláh payment on behalf of the other believer. The donor can then be given the option of his providing these funds as a Ḥuqúqu’lláh payment on his own behalf or as a contribution to the Bahá’í International Fund in honour of the other individual or of having the funds returned to him.
