Recycling Quran and Hadith texts
Salam alaikum, How should I dispose of papers that have some Qur'an and hadith on them whether purely or with words in another language? I've heard that it's to be done by burning. Is this true?

الإجابة

 

All praise be to Allah, and may His blessings and peace be on His last messenger, Muhammad,

If you can do that by burring, then that would be the best disposal of them. Shredding is another alternative. Finally, recycling is considered adequate by many scholars as well, since they are not thrown disrespectfully with trash, but rather with papers.

Allah knows best.
