29 March 1989
Dear Bahá’í Friend,
The Universal House of Justice has received your letter of 5
February 1989 in which you ask whether the Law of Huqúqu'lláh is a purely
personal law or whether it applies to elected institutions and corporate bodies
as well.
We have been asked to inform you that, although the Trustee
is authorized to accept contributions to Huqúqu’lláh from believers who are not
under the obligation of paying it, or from companies which are wholly owned by
Bahá’ís, the Law of Huqúqu’lláh imposes an obligation only on individual
believers, not on Bahá’í institutions or corporate bodies.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Department of the Secretariat
