The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on using newspaper pages to wrap food and other things?
The Shaykh:
If you do not see a verse or a hadith on it, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you see a hadith of the Messenger of Allah or a verse from the Book of Allah on the newspaper, remove it. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is narrated in the two Sahihs from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
Cut out the verse, cut it out of the newspaper, and cut out the mention of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and use it in a way that does not contradict [the ruling].
