Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Newspapers that contain the mention of Allah must be disposed of by burning, burying, or shredding them, in order to glorify the name of Allah and avoid dishonoring it by placing them in unclean places. One can dispose of them personally or hand them over to an entity that destroys them without degradation.
