July 18. On this date in 1994, the Universal House of Justice wrote
"Concerning the Huqúqu’lláh, … the disposition of the Huqúqu’lláh is a
prerogative reserved to the Center of the Faith. The Universal House of
Justice is invested with a number of 'powers and duties' enumerated in
its Constitution ... The funds collected from the payment of Huqúqu’lláh
are expended in pursuit of these purposes, as the House of Justice
deems appropriate."
Concerning the Huqúqu’lláh, … the disposition of the Huqúqu’lláh is a prerogative reserved to the Center of the Faith. The Universal House of Justice is invested with a number of "powers and duties" enumerated in its Constitution such as "preservation of the Sacred Texts", "advanc[ing] the interests of the Faith", "propagat[ing] and teach[ing] its Message", and so forth. The funds collected from the payment of Huqúqu’lláh are expended in pursuit of these purposes, as the House of Justice deems appropriate.
