What is the ruling on placing food on newspapers?

Question : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. What is the ruling on placing food on newspapers and journals?

Answer : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. Placing food on newspapers and journals that contain some of the verses or hadiths is undoubtedly a desecration of them. It is well known that desecrating the words of Allah and the words of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is not permissible. It is astonishing that these people who place food on these newspapers containing the words of Allah and the words of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) do so while other placemats are readily available, is that not so?
There are many placemats that can be washed and reused, and many that cannot be washed, and there are also paper placemats. Everything is available, but I do not know how Satan plays with them until they choose these newspapers despite the seriousness of the matter involved. I advise our brothers not to use them to protect food, but rather to buy something else and use that.
