Is it not permissible to throw the names of the Prophet (such as the Seal of the Prophets) and people's names (such as Muhammad and Ahmad) in the trash?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is obligatory to preserve and respect papers on which are written the names of Allah the Almighty or the names of the Prophets. What is meant by the name of the Prophet is that which is conjoined with something indicating him as a prophet, not merely the name itself. It is disliked to perform *istinjāʾ* with a hand that has a ring carrying the name of Allah or the name of a prophet (conjoined with something that designates him). And it was said that this is prohibited.
