The Ruling on Writing the Name of Allah on Shop Bags and Throwing Them Away
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Muhammad, says: May Allah reward you with good. We would like to give advice, Shaykh, to the owners of commercial shops, as they write on their bags names that contain the Name of Allah, and these bags are thrown in the streets and in the trash, and used in ways that are not befitting. The same is true of advertising papers.
Answer:
If this was not intended, if writing the noble name from the names of Allah was not intended, but it was written for the sake of necessity, then there is no harm in that. However, if the intention was to insult, then this is not permissible. This may amount to apostasy, may Allah protect us from it. Yes.
