Must I Inform Others About Books Containing Allahโs Name Before They Are Disposed Of?
Question
Assalamualaikum. Thank you for answering my questions again , really thanks a lot . I am worrying because of this question . I know Many of my classmates , And they have that hindi book and other book where name of Allah and name of authors are written . Should I ask them about the books and should I inform a muslimah in my class , but I don't know if she knows about it or not . And i remember, quran verse was there when I was in certain class , should I see if there are friends of mine that I can tell , to not throw it away , and to inform others .
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
Your concern about this matter is commendable, but there is no need to worry excessively about it. If the opportunity arises, you may gently and wisely inform a trustworthy Muslim classmate that books containing the name of Allah or a verse of the Qurโan should not be thrown away disrespectfully.
However, it is not necessary to ask everyone or spread the matter widely. You may simply give the advice in a good manner; after that, your responsibility is fulfilled. What others choose to do is their own responsibility, and you will not be sinful for it.
