Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee sets out three methods of disposal: washing off the writing with water and discarding the water into a river or the sea, burning the materials, or using the green technology process known as deinking. If burned, the material must be burned completely, the ashes collected so they are not scattered by wind, then buried in a clean place or one where people do not walk, or thrown into the sea or a flowing river. The burning must be supervised by a religious department officer or the party disposing of the materials.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahan yang mengandungi ayat-ayat al-Quran dan hadis yang dibakar hendaklah menyeluruh tanpa tertinggal mana-mana bahagian yang tidak terbakar.
