Whereas the Israeli Religious Court in Baghdad issued a judgment dated December 1, 924
and notification number 225 - 924, obligating the judgment debtor Nouri Ephraim to pay 8.012
dinars to his wife Khatoun Sassoon Shalji for medical expenses and necessary living costs
for the period prior to the aforementioned judgment, and the said judgment was deposited with this department
and a seizure was placed on one-third of the salary of the aforementioned debtor. Since Article Fourteen
of the Israeli Community Law No. 77 of 1931 states the lack of jurisdiction of the
aforementioned court in hearing such lawsuits and restricted its jurisdiction to hearing cases of marriage,
dowry, divorce, separation, spousal maintenance, and the authentication of wills only. Accordingly, it was decided
to annul the previous decision issued by this department on 7/26/931 and to lift
the seizure on the debtor's salary for this case only, and to return the amount paid
to the debtor as of this day, and to notify the debtor's department of this. ⟦22⟧ May 932

A charitable association formed by a permit from the Ministry of Interior according to the Law of Association Formation
of the year 1922. Its basic bylaws, approved by the Ministry of Interior, state that its revenues
consist of fixed monthly subscriptions paid by each member in exchange for their affiliation with the association and from various
donations bestowed upon it by benefactors from time to time.
To collect subscription fees from those affiliated with the association and to accept donations offered to the association
from benevolent people - money, food, or clothing - at different times, should
a special permit be obtained for that according to the Lotteries and Public Subscriptions Law No. 42 of the year
1934, or does it not require such a permit considering that collecting subscription fees and accepting individual
donations offered by persons of their own volition do not fall under the concept of public subscription
mentioned in the aforementioned Lotteries and Public Subscriptions Law?
I hope you will kindly guide us to that as quickly as possible;
