The Ruling on Throwing Newspapers and Magazines into Abandoned Wells

Question:
Does a person commit a sin if he finishes reading the newspapers and throws them into an abandoned well? Please, may Allah reward you with good, direct those who use newspapers and disrespect them indirectly, considering that they contain verses and the beautiful names of Allah?

Answer:
It is obligatory for anyone who has newspapers or other papers containing the mention of Allah to be cautious and not throw them in the trash or in abandoned wells, because abandoned wells may contain impurities or dirty things. However, such papers or newspapers should be buried in clean earth or burned, just as Uthman did with the Qur'anic copies that were no longer needed; he burned them and did not leave them neglected.
The point is that a Qur'anic copy that is no longer needed, whether torn or for other reasons, should be buried in clean earth. Likewise, newspapers and papers containing the mention of Allah should be buried in clean earth or burned, and not thrown in garbage dumps, trash, or abandoned wells that may contain impurities. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
