Question

what is the Islamic way to dispose off pages containing names of Allah and Prophets??

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

It is permissible to erase these names and burn the rest of the pages.

However, according to the most preferred view, the pages which contain the name of Allah Ta῾āla or the prophets, should be buried or disposed off in flowing water.

(Durrul Mukhtaar,Pg.422,Vol.6,HM Saeed)[1]

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best

Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
