Is writing the name "Abdullah" on an unclean paper, without the intention of insulting the name, considered apostasy that expels one from the fold of Islam?

The answer

Glorifying Allah Almighty entails glorifying His name by not writing it in an inappropriate place. This stems from the piety of hearts. It is disliked to write the Qur’an and the names of Allah on coins, mihrabs, walls, and anything that is laid out [as a mat or carpet]. If someone writes the name of Allah in an inappropriate place without intending to dishonor it, they do not commit an act of disbelief, unless there is an indication of an intent to mock.
