Is it permissible to pray on newspapers or daily periodicals?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Newspapers that contain mention of Allah, or Qur'anic verses, or Prophetic hadiths, must be protected from degradation and insult. This includes not spreading them out to pray upon them, as this shows a lack of reverence for the sacred things of Allah.
