July 25. On this date in 2006, the Universal House of Justice wrote
"As you are aware, the obligation of believers to pay Huqúqu’lláh is
set out in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, and it is offered to the Head of the
Faith, now the House of Justice...Such an assurance from the House of
Justice is, of course, sufficient for members of the Bahá’í community.

Huqúqu’lláh accounts to external audiences..."
As you are aware, the obligation of believers to pay Huqúqu’lláh is set out in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, and it is offered to the Head of the Faith, now the House of Justice. Disbursement of these funds is decided by the House of Justice and is presently directed to the vital task of raising the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, which is the essential prerequisite for the enduring resolution of the afflictions humanity is now experiencing.
The House of Justice ensures that detailed accounts of Huqúqu’lláh income and expenditures are maintained by the International Board of Trustees of Huqúqu’lláh and its Office of Huqúqu’lláh in the Holy Land. It monitors the functioning of the Institution of Huqúqu’lláh and is well satisfied that matters are being handled with the highest level of integrity.
Such an assurance from the House of Justice is, of course, sufficient for members of the Bahá’í community. At this time the House of Justice sees no need to present information on Huqúqu’lláh accounts to external audiences; if a situation arises in the future where there is public controversy over this issue, it will take whatever action it deems appropriate at that time.
