Is it better to recycle papers with “ALAAH” written on them instead of burning them?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Would it be advisable to put papers with the name “ALAAH” written on them in the recycling bin rather than burning them?

As they often get put in the masjids and they dont get burnt until they have quite a load & then they just get thrown around.

Jazaakallaah khair!

Answer
Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

You can recycle such papers, but only after erasing the name of Allah Ta’ala, His Angels and Messengers.

It will not be permissible to recycle Quranic verses.

Disposing of Quranic verses. Please refer to: http://www.muftisays.com/qa.php?viewpage=viewQA&question=1781

And only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
