Papers that Contain Name of Allah
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be
upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
It is not allowed to throw away anything containing verses of Allah (nor
the word Allah) or Ahadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
into a despised and filthy place (garbage).
This is because it is the great word of Allah and it must be
respected. That is why one
does not read them while he is sexually defiled and one does not touch
the mushaf except while in a
state of ablution, according to the opinion of many scholars – in fact,
the majority of scholars.
Instead, one must burn them completely or use a paper shredder by which
nothing is left of them. (Shaikh ibn Uthaimin)
And Allaah knows the best.
