Can old and ruined pages of the Holy Quran be burnt?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria

Can old and ruined pages of the Holy Quran be burnt and buried in the earth?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

The ruling with regards to the sanctified pages is that they should be wrapped up/covered in something to protect in and then either buried or placed in pure flowing water. If these are not possible, then burning them is allowed, but this should be avoided unless one is compelled to do so.
