The question

What is your interpretation of the fatwa which states that whoever ignores the removal of a paper containing a Qur’anic verse, or a dhikr (remembrance), or a hadith, has committed an act of disbelief (kufr)? What is meant by a "dirty place," and when is a person excused? Is what the questioner did, by leaving some adhkar in dirty places, considered an act of disbelief? Is writing dhikr on a wall considered a form of disrespect? What are the sources from which one can read about the nullifiers of Islam that are more than ten?

The answer

What the questioner mentioned about the ruling on disbelief is incorrect. Issuing such a ruling is not a light matter, especially concerning an issue that has become widespread, like the prevalence of Allah's names and Quranic verses written on papers, stickers, and other items. This was not the case in the past. Therefore, it is necessary to overlook such matters and spread Islamic awareness. The questioner has burdened herself with something that is not obligatory for her, and this contradicts the objectives of Islamic law. Furthermore, delving into details only increases obsessive thoughts and anxiety. It is recommended to turn away from thinking about these matters and only focus on papers and belongings that pertain to the questioner and contain Allah's names. As for what she sees on her path, she should overlook it.
