Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any harm in eating on newspapers, walking on them, or using them as a tablecloth?
Answer:
No, there is no harm, unless you see a verse or a hadith on them, or you see the name of the Exalted or the name of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or words from the words of the scholars. In that case, do not degrade them and do not eat on them. But if you do not see any of that on them, there is no harm. Yes.
