Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, our Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on throwing school textbooks after the exams are over, as we see them thrown in the streets and also near the trash cans?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Ministry of Education to put a stop to this and to require students that when they finish their exams, they hand in the textbooks that are still usable so that they can be distributed to other students. As for those that are not usable and cannot be repaired, they should be burned. They should not be left to be desecrated, especially if they contain verses or hadiths; rather, they should be burned or buried in a pure place. Yes.
