Ruling on writing names containing the Divine Name on bags used to hold ritually impure substances
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Some bags have the name Abdulaziz or Abdullah written on the bag itself. After emptying their contents, some animal manure or other substances are placed in them. What is the ruling on that?The Shaykh: Is the manure ritually impure or pure?The questioner: Some of it is impure.
The Shaykh: No.
If it is ritually impure, it is not permissible, because this is a desecration of the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). However, if it is pure, there is nothing wrong with it. But it is better for merchants not to write names that contain the Divine Name or any of the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Rather, they should mention a person and attribute him to his tribe. If his name contains the Divine Name or any of the names of Allah, let him write the tribe or clan to which he belongs; because perhaps when they take out what is in the bags, they will throw them on the ground and they will be desecrated.
