The ruling on burying fallen hair and nail clippings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is it obligatory to bury fallen hair and cut nails in the earth? We ask for your guidance?

Answer:
It is not obligatory. One may throw them in the trash, and praise be to Allah. There is no evidence for burying them. If one throws them in the trash, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah.
