Paper on which the name of Hazrat Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is written
Question
What can we do with the paper on which Muhammad is written in English, if we erase (fill the place of name with ink) and then throw it, is it ok
or we have to do something else? Please guide me.
Answer
It is better to bury it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
