Burning Pages of the Mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it permissible to burn pages from the Noble Mushaf if there is a fear that they will be treated with disrespect?

Answer: Yes, if the Mushaf has become worn out, torn, and there is a fear that it will be treated with disrespect, it reaches a state where it can no longer be used or read from. In that case, there is no harm in burning it or burying it in pure earth; because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did both of these things. They buried the Mushafs, and they also burned the Mushafs when they gathered the people on a single Mushaf, which was the Mushaf of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), burning the remaining Mushafs other than it.
So, if the Mushaf is in a state where it can no longer be used due to being torn, it is either buried in a pure place or burned, and both of these actions were done by the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
