The ruling on using newspapers as a placemat for food

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to use newspapers as a placemat for food?

Answer:
If it contains the Qur'an or the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not permissible. But if nothing of the sort appears in it, there is no harm.
