Article 64 explained in plain English
This article is a transitional provision dealing with the date of the periodic allowance in the year in which the Law was issued, and it has two stages:
- During 1397 AH: the member is granted the periodic allowance due to him on the date it falls due, that is, according to his own due date.
- Starting from 1 Muharram 1398 AH: all members are granted the periodic allowance under Article 15.
Article 15 provides that the member is granted the periodic allowance annually on the salary scale attached to the Law, by moving him from the grade he holds to the grade immediately next in the same rank, and this move takes place on the first of Muharram of each year.
In practical terms, this article unified the date of the periodic allowance for all members; whereas due dates differed from one member to another during 1397 AH, the single date became the first of Muharram from the year 1398 AH.
This article has exhausted its time effect with the passing of that period, and its importance remains historical in understanding the start of applying the rule in Article 15. The rule in force today is what Article 15 provides, granting the allowance on the first of Muharram each year.
