The ruling on placing magazines containing the names of Allah and verses in public places
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on placing magazines in places like restrooms, and what is the ruling on using them to let air circulate?
Answer:
If you see in them any of the names of Allah, or any of the verses, or any of the hadiths, you must lift them up out of respect for what is in them, or at least cut out the part that contains the verse, the name of Allah, or something from the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and cut that out. But if you do not know of anything in them and you do not see anything in them, there is no harm in treating them casually, using them, and eating on them. Yes.
