Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee sets out three methods of disposal: washing the writing off with water and pouring the water into a river or the sea, burning the material, or using a green technology process known as deinking. If burned, the material must be burned completely, the ashes collected so they are not scattered by wind, and then buried in a clean place that people do not pass through or dumped in a flowing river or sea. The burning is to 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.
