What is the ruling on writing Quranic verses on newspaper sheets?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to write the name of Allah, or verses and hadiths, on newspapers because they are public media platforms. It is desirable not to leave them devoid of da'wah (invitation to Islam) and clarification of rulings, so that people may benefit. The fact that they are susceptible to disrespect does not prevent writing on them. The responsibility lies with the user, who must respect newspapers that contain the mention of Allah. As for how to dispose of them when no longer needed, refer to no. 30403.
