Question
Assalamualaikum Thank you for answering my recent question. If I had to throw the books out , do I need to cut the page where Allah's name is written and names of authors .
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
No, if a book has to be disposed of due to necessity, it is not required to cut out the page where Allah’s name or the author’s name is written. One should simply maintain respect, such as burying it in a clean place or disposing of it in a proper and dignified manner. Deliberate disrespect is not permissible, but cutting the page is not mandatory.
