The ruling on destroying a paper containing magical symbols

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I found a paper in my house containing magical symbols and squares, and I believe it is a work of sorcery. What should I do with it? Should I burn it, or put it in water, because some people told me not to burn it? What is the correct ruling in this matter? What is

Answer:
You believe it is sorcery. This is sorcery without a doubt; the symbols are sorcery, and the squares are sorcery. Destroy it however you wish. Tear it up with your hand, and do not burn it with fire. As for the one who told you not to burn it with fire, he is mistaken and does not know. The important thing is that you destroy it and put an end to it by any means. Yes. Or put it in the shredder that shreds papers. Yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from Algeria, and he says: We have among these muftis, some of whom are many of the ignorant, who issue fatwas without knowledge, answering with things from their own minds. Yes.
