Continuing its charitable activities, the office of Grand Ayatollah Shirazi in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, recently slaughtered several sheep with the intention of health and the hastened return of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance). The meat, along with chicken, was distributed to hundreds of orphaned and needy families in Mazar-i-Sharif, in cooperation with the Misbah al-Hussein Charity, an affiliate in Karbala.
