How to Dispose of Damaged Qur'ans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I have a question about how to dispose of damaged Qur'ans in homes and in mosques. How do we handle them? May Allah guide you, for the sake of all Muslims.
Damaged Qur'ans are burned, as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did when they burned the extra copies of the Qur'an beyond Uthman's copy. They are burned and buried in a clean place.
The questioner: Or a hole is dug for them without burning! The Shaykh: No.
It is better to burn them; because if you dig a hole, it might be dug up later.
