Picking up discarded papers containing the Name of Allah or verses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I see some of the papers thrown in the streets that contain the Name of Allah, or a verse from the Qur'an, is it obligatory for me to pick up these papers?

Answer:
Without a doubt, if you see the Name of Allah in them, or a verse from the Qur'an, or a hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or the words of the scholars, it is not permissible for you to leave them to be dishonored and trampled in the street. Pick them up, and you will have reward for this. Yes.
