Disposing of an English copy of the Quraan Majeed with only translation in it
Question
Please clarify for me, with regards to an English copy of the Quraan (translation only, no Arabic) Mufti had replied;
1. There is consensus among leading ulama that the Quraan without the original text is impermissible and not at all correct. The right thing is to not use such a translation which does not have the original Arabic text.
My question is, should I dispose of this copy of the Quraan? Can it be burnt?
2. How do I dispose of Islamic writings and duas that have become yellowed with time?
Answer
1. Yes. Do so with respect.
2. As above. One way is to put it into a box respectfully and bury it at a place where nobody will tramp.
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.
