Question

Please tell me the proper method for disposal of Allah’s and Prophets’ names.

Also is it permissible to give such pages for recycling? Also can we throw them out after blacking the names out with a marker?

Answer

You should preferably bury them in a spot on which people don't tramp. Otherwise, you may burn them.

Don't throw them away. Instead, either bury them or burn them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
