What does a person do with fallen hair or nails? Should they be burned or placed in the earth?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What does a person do with fallen hair or nails? Should they be burned or placed in the earth? I ask for guidance on this.

The Shaykh : Some scholars held that a person should bury the hair and nails he removes from his body. They cited as evidence the practice of some of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). If this is feasible, that is best; if it is not feasible, there is nothing wrong with throwing them in any place.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
