Vessels bearing the names of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. After the opportunity was provided regarding the data? which contain the name of Allah, such as “the noble servant,” since their use has become confined to the hypocrites, and they did not wipe or remove this name, and may Allah reward him with good,

The Shaykh:
There is no power or strength except by Allah.

Another questioner:
A toilet seat is in it.

The Shaykh:
Yes. It is not permissible to write the names of Allah on these plates, cups, or other vessels; because they are disgraced, thrown in bathrooms, and discarded in coffee shops, and no regard is given to them. It is obligatory to erase them with something, or dye them with something, until the name is removed. Dye them with henna first; henna removes al-Karim (the Most Generous), al-Rahim (the Most Merciful), al-Aziz (the Almighty), or La ilaha illa Allah, or words of this type. If they cannot be erased, they are dyed with henna to remove or conceal them. Yes.
