Burning pages of the Mus-haf that have become worn out
Praise be to Allah.
Yes, if the Mus-haf becomes worn out and there is the fear
that it may be mishandled and may reach a state where it cannot be read and
benefited from, there is nothing wrong with burning it or burying it in pure
earth, because both were done by the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with
them). They buried Mus-hafs and they also burned them, when the Sahaabah
united the people upon a single Mus-haf, which was the Mus-haf of ‘Uthmaan
(may Allaah be pleased with him), and they burned all other Mus-hafs.
If a Mus-haf has reached a state where it cannot be benefited
from because it has become worn out, then it should either be buried in a
pure place, or be burned. Both were done by the companions of the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
