What is the ruling on hurrying to take a paper on which one of the names of Allah Almighty is written with the intention of burning it, and what is the best course of action then?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One must hasten to pick up any paper that contains a name of Allah Almighty, because leaving it is considered a desecration. The same applies to throwing a Mus'haf in a dirty place or soiling it, because maintaining this state is like initiating it. One should hasten to pick them up out of reverence for the rituals of Allah.
