With reference to your letter No. M Kh / 105 dated 6 / 1 / 1941
It appeared to us as a result of the investigation that the Iranian scholar in question, Mohammad Thiqat al-Islam, had resided in
Karbala during the Ottoman era for approximately twelve years and left it shortly before the Great War
with all his family for Iran, and he is still there until now.
As for the relations he left behind in Iraq, it consists of two houses he owns in Karbala; one of them
was sold and the second remains rented for his account. As learned through the investigation, he lives in Iran at the
present time following a policy of isolation to avoid the wrath of the local government. It is inferred from his request to come to
Iraq with all members of his family and servants that he intends to emigrate to it. Accordingly, and following the drawn plan,
we do not favor granting his request, and we hope you will kindly provide us with your decision in this regard.
