Covering the name of Allah and Muhammad on newspapers
Question
The newspapers in our country contain Muslim names like Muhammad, the names of Allah which are used for a person etc. If I blot these names with a black marker in a way that it cannot be seen, after that can I use it for any other purpose (for example we use the newspapers for our cat’s toilet)?
Answer
Avoid doing this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
