Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, to advise some of the brothers, may Allah grant them success, who throw the books they are carrying while standing. None of them bothers to protect his back so that the book lands properly, and perhaps he kicks it with his foot if he wants to move it to another place. So I ask for your guidance, Honorable Shaykh.
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to be careless with books or to throw them, because they are respected. They are books of knowledge containing verses, hadiths, the words of the scholars, and legal rulings. Therefore, they must be respected and not thrown, but rather respected. Yes.
