The ruling on throwing papers bearing the name of Allah into the trash

Question:
I notice some of the names of Allah on some items that end up in the trash or garbage. For example, a certain product from a shipment from Abdullah, or from a shipment from Abdulaziz. These items are thrown away after their use is finished, and they are thrown in the place for trash. So what is your guidance for the people? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The sin is on the one who throws them into the trash or garbage. Anything that contains the remembrance of Allah, whether it is newspaper clippings, letters, advertisements, or otherwise, must be honored and preserved. It should be buried in good earth, or burned, or crushed by machines that crush it until no trace of it remains.
As for throwing it into the trash or dumps, this is not permissible. The sin is on the one who threw it, not on the one who wrote it. The sin is on the one who threw it, because people are compelled to write in their letters and in their goods, which they mention and advertise, that they are compelled to use the name Abdullah or Abdulaziz, or in letters to use the name, and so on. Likewise, in newspapers there are articles, and there are verses.
So the conclusion is: anything that contains the remembrance of Allah must be preserved. This is either by destroying it in a way that destroys it completely, crushing it so that no trace remains, or by burying it in good earth, or by burning it, or by keeping it in a good place. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
