The ruling on throwing away papers on which the basmalah is written
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to write Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim?
The Shaykh:
He is done with it because it is trampled upon, but if he buries it or burns it, this is the correct approach, or he places it on a shelf, in a bag, or in a file to preserve it. As for throwing it away, no, it is not to be thrown away. Throwing it away means discarding it while it contains the remembrance of Allah and the basmalah.
