How does one dispose off Islamic literature?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by TheMufti.com

Q. During the Month of Ramadaan, I had collected a reasonable amount of Islamic literature; Islamic books; newspapers; magazines etc. How do I dispose of it?


A. The most suitable way of disposing of Islamic literature is to wrap it up and bury it in a secure place (a place that is not commonly walked upon). However, if it is not possible to bury it in a secure place, then one may resort to burning them. (Shaami 1/320)
