Is it permissible to burn papers and books containing Quranic verses and noble Prophetic traditions along with magazines and newspapers that have pictures, and is it permissible to use gasoline to accelerate the burning process without that being considered a desecration?
There is no objection to burning papers that contain Quranic verses or Prophetic hadiths, and other pure things with them, provided that the papers with Quranic verses and hadiths are placed on top of the gasoline poured on newspapers and magazines, and not have gasoline poured directly onto them, in order to protect the sacred text.
