Keeping Islamic books with respect

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When we keep Islamic books, etc. in book shelves, dust accumulates on them with the passage of time. Will we be sinning if we don’t clean the bookshelves and the books of dust?

Bismillaah

A: It is not a sin, but adab requires that you keep them with respect and clean them periodically.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
