Is it permissible to delete from a mobile phone that which contains the name of Allah or Qur’anic verses by pressing the trash icon?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The action mentioned is permissible, and there is no degradation of Allah's name in it. There is no Sharia prohibition in deleting content that includes Allah's name in the manner mentioned. The question might arise from waswasa (whispers/obsessive thoughts).
