Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there are papers or books containing the names of Allah the Exalted, and we burned them, what do we do with the ashes? Is it true that they must be buried?
Answer:
By Allah, my brothers, searching for the papers and things like this is an excessive effort regarding what you do not see before your eyes. Do not search for it and do not look for it. If you burned it, it is finished. What do you want with the ashes? It is over. That is it. If the mushafs are burned, it is finished. Yes.
