What is the ruling on buying sweets that have the word of majesty (Allah) on their wrapper, and is it obligatory to warn those who buy them, especially women, and what is the sin of not warning those who debase the word of majesty or the Qur'an while [only] denying it in their heart, and what is the evidence for the prohibition of discarding papers that carry the word of majesty?
It is forbidden to intentionally dishonor the name of Allah. This includes throwing anything on which the name of Allah is written into a disrespectful place, such as trash. The name of Allah is glorified to honor the Holy Being, and it is obligatory to glorify Allah's names and keep them free from anything that is not befitting. Writing the names of Allah on stair steps is forbidden, as it involves their disrespect. Denouncing anyone who disrespects the Qur'an or the majestic لفظ الجلالة (the word "Allah") is obligatory to the best of one's ability. Whoever buys sweets with the name of Allah written on their wrapper does not commit a sin, but it is recommended to alert them to handle it in a manner befitting its sacredness.
