Disposing nails in the bin
Question
If one is cutting one's nails, what is the ruling on placing them in the bin and if one recites the Basmalah before cutting nails directly with a bin below, does this entail sin?
Answer
The nails should be buried. They should not be thrown into the bin. Do not take the name of Allah Ta'ala near filth.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
