❀ Ruling on Using Sacred Papers (Containing Islamic Texts) ❀
❖ Question:
What is the ruling regarding a person who uses newspaper sheets as a dining mat?
❖ Answer:
Such papers often contain the Names of Allah, Qur’anic verses, and noble Hadiths. Therefore, dishonoring them, sitting on them, or using them as a dining mat is not permissible.
After reading them, they should be burned and properly disposed of to prevent disrespect.
[Shaykh Ibn Jibreen رحمه الله]
