Is burning the straw resulting from rice cultivation forbidden?
If burning something does not result in harm and it has no significant benefit, then there is no objection to burning it. However, if it causes harm or injury, then burning it must be avoided, and it should be removed by other means to prevent harm, in accordance with the hadith: "There should be no harm nor reciprocating harm." Likewise, if it has significant benefit, it is not permissible to burn it due to the prohibition of wasting wealth. It can be disposed of by selling it or gifting it.
