Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee ruled that disposing of and recycling damaged Quran copies and religious printed materials by the deinking method is permissible. This is subject to Shafi'i disposal requirements: the materials must be honoured and not left in unclean places, the Quranic writing must be completely removed, and the resulting waste must be properly disposed of. The paper and ink produced may be reused, though the paper is advised to be used for good purposes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus melupuskan dan mengitar semula mushaf al-Quran dan bahan cetakan agama yang telah rosak dengan menggunkan kaedah Deinking.
