Is it permissible to use paper containing Quranic verses as raw material in the manufacture of egg cartons?
If the papers are cut in such a way that the Qur’anic verses or the word of Allah (Jalalah) and the like are removed from them, then there is no objection to using them. This is because these papers must be respected due to the word of Allah contained therein. So, if the writing is removed, it is permissible to use them for permissible purposes. However, using them while the writing remains is not permissible, as it constitutes an insult to the word of Allah.
