How to Dispose of Papers Containing the Names of Allah

The second message in this episode came from the questioner (A. H. A.) from the Central Region of Sudan. He says in his message: Sometimes we find verses written on paper thrown on the ground, and sometimes we want to get rid of papers containing the Basmalah or other verses. Is tearing them up sufficient, and then throwing them away, or must they be burned? Please guide us on what we should do?
Answer: It is obligatory that if there are verses on some papers, or the Basmalah, or anything else containing the remembrance of Allah, it must be burned or buried in clean earth. As for throwing it in the trash or in the markets, this is not permissible.
The presenter: What if it is torn up?
The Shaykh: Because it involves disrespecting the names of Allah and His verses. Even if it is torn up, because the word of the Majesty (Allah) or the Merciful (al-Rahman) or other names of Allah may remain on some pieces, and some verses may remain on some pieces.
The point is that it is obligatory either to burn it completely or to bury it in clean earth. For example, a mushaf that has been torn and is no longer useful should be buried in clean earth or burned. As for throwing it in the trash, in people's markets, or in yards, this is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter: And regarding burning, is there any harm in the ash scattering?
The Shaykh: No, it does not harm. No, once it is burned, its ruling is lifted.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
