How can one dispose of a Mushaf (copy of the Quran) gifted by a sorceress, and is it permissible to place it in a mosque despite doubts about its purity or its use for sorcery?
If the Mushaf (copy of the Qur’an) is no longer usable or has become impure, it must be buried in a respectful place or burned, as a means of preserving it from desecration and loss. It has been narrated that Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, ordered the burning of the codices in which the Qur’an was written after its compilation, fearing disunity within the Ummah. However, if the Mushaf is still usable, it can be used, given to someone who will benefit from it, or placed in a mosque.
