Letter from Karbalayi Baqir

Letter from Karbalayi Baqir

Letter from Karbalayi Baqir to Aqa regarding the triple divorce settlement of a woman, in his office/presence, and payment of the alimony during the waiting period under the condition that the woman stays with a Sayyidah woman who is his neighbor. The previous night he noticed that the woman was not with Sayyidah, and had claimed that she had Aqa’s permission to go anywhere she wanted. He inquires about this claim and informs Aqa that if the woman were not entrusted to an honorable person, he did not wish to be responsible for her.
