The payment of the Huququ’llah is one of the essential
spiritual obligations that the wondrous
Pen of Baha'u'llah has laid down in the Most Holy Book.
It would be preferable and more fitting if these two
accounts, namely contributions to the Funds and payments of the Huququ’llah
were to be kept separate. This means that in the first instance you should pay
your Huququ’llah, and then you may offer your devoted contributions at your own
discretion to the International Fund which is now being used for achieving the
goals of the Nine-Year Plan.

dated August 18, 1965 to an individual believer, translated from the Persian,
The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Huququ’llah)
