What is the ruling on one who throws away newspapers and the like, which contain the Name of Allah and the basmalah, causing them to be desecrated?

The Shaykh : What is the ruling on a man who throws away a paper on which the basmalah and other writings containing the Name of Allah are written, and when he is advised, he says: "It is none of your business; I will bear its sin"? I say: Things that contain the names of Allah must be protected from being desecrated, and throwing them in the markets until they are trampled underfoot is undoubtedly a desecration of them. As for his saying "I will bear the sin," I advise him to seek forgiveness from Allah for what he said, and to say: "I do not believe that there is a sin in it." As for saying "I will bear its sin," this is undoubtedly foolishness, like the saying of the polytheists .
