Is it permissible to use bags with the names of restaurant branches or store locations written on them as trash bags?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the writing on the bags includes the mention of Allah Almighty or what is revered in Islamic law, such as the names of holy places, then it is not permissible to use them for the aforementioned purposes. However, if they are free of such writing, there is no harm in using them. The more cautious approach is to avoid using bags with any writing on them whatsoever.
