Tearing up papers on which the basmalah is written
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to a message sent by a listener whose code is Ta-Shin-Ain, symbolizing his name, from Saudi Arabia. He says: When tearing up paper, such as documents and letters, is it obligatory for me to cut out the basmalah written inside them, place it in a designated location, and then burn it?
Answer:
If this becomes frequent and burdensome, then this is not obligatory. You do not intend to insult the Basmala or anything else, but you are not required to track down all the papers and lift them up to say "Bismillah" or whatever contains the mention of Allah, because this involves hardship.
