Disposing of Torn Qur'ans

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that have come in, one says: I have in my house and in my library torn Qur'ans and pages from the Noble Qur'an. What is the best thing to do with them: bury them or burn them?

Answer:
Both are permissible. If you wish, you may bury them in a pure place, and if you wish, you may burn them. Burning is better, because they are gone and nothing of them remains. Yes.
