The answer

We thank the questioner for his feeling of transgression and his respect for the rituals of Allah. The spread of papers containing revered material has become a widespread affliction, and it is difficult to guard against it. A Muslim should remove what he is able to, and what is difficult for him is excused, according to the words of Allah Almighty: "And He has not placed upon you in religion any difficulty" and "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity."
