The ruling on desecrating papers that contain the name of Allah and the names worshipped

Question:
A free newspaper was placed down. Some scholars say that regarding newspapers and magazines that contain matters or names worshipped for Allah, it may amount to major shirk (associating partners with Allah), because Allah has prohibited the desecration of His sanctities and rituals, let alone His own Self. Is that so?

Answer:
There is a distinction here. If he desecrates these papers while knowing that they contain the names of Allah or something from the Qur'an, and he says, "Even if it were so," and he tramples on them and puts them in the trash, then he has committed kufr (disbelief). However, if he does not know that they contain any of this, and he only sees them as papers, and he does not look at what is in them, considering them merely as papers whose use has ended and that he no longer needs, and he did not do this intentionally, then he is not declared a disbeliever, because he did not intend this act. But if he knows that they contain the names of Allah, verses, and hadiths, and he says, "These are just papers, and we do not care about what is in them," then he is considered a disbeliever. Yes. Not the names worshipped. Yes.
You do not enter into this by destroying the entire newspaper. It does not affect Abdullah or Abdul Rahman. That would be imposing a burden that cannot be fulfilled. But if you see something obvious, such as a Qur'anic verse or a Prophetic hadith, something clear, then it is not permissible except to cut out that section, cut it, and burn it. There is no objection to the rest being discarded. As for if you did not know what was in them and you are unaware of their contents, the default is that the conscience is clear, if Allah wills. Yes.
