In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Merciful.

Question: I have with me a copy of the Noble Qur’aan and its pages are ripped, so what shall I do with it? Shall I bury it?

Answer: It is permissible for you to bury it under the grounds of a Masjid of any of the Masaajid; and it is also permissible for you to burn it in imitation of what ‘Uthmaan (radiyallaahu-anahu) did.  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.
