After having read a newspaper in which Allah's name is written, we usually throw it away in the wastebasket; is this permissible? A – It is not allowed to throw away anything upon which verses of the Qur'an, Allah's Name, or Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) are written. It is furthermore not allowed to place any such item in a place where they are debased. Allah's speech is blessed and we must venerate it. Thus a person who is in a state of impurity is not allowed to read the Qur'an. And the Mushaf is not to be touched unless we are in a state of purity and have performed ablution; at least this is the opinion of most of the scholars. If we don't need such paper, we must either completely burn it or shred it using a machine. – Sheikh Muhammad Bin Saleh Al-Uthaymeen; Fatawa Islamiyah, vol. 8, pg. 367 Gifting wealth Q- A woman received her share of an inheritance after the death of her father and she gave it to her brother, bearing in mind that she has eight children (male and female). Is a gift such as this permissible in the Islamic Law? What about the share of her children? A – If this woman who gave this gift was in perfect health, then it is permissible for her to dispose of her property as she wishes and the children do not have a right in this inheritance, as long as the mother is alive. But if she died, then the property would be divided as required by the Islamic Law. – Sheikh Muhammad Bin Saleh Al-Uthaymeen; Fatawa Islamiyah, vol. 5, no. 53 Why Islam? Q- Why is our religion called “Islam”? A – Because one who enters it submits (Aslama) himself to Allah, and he surrenders to (Istislam), and abides by, all of the injunctions that come from Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). Allah said: “When His Lord said to him (Ibrahim), ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!' He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of all that exists.'” (Qur'an, 2:131) “But whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah and he is a good-doer then his reward is with his Lord.” (Qur'an, 2:112) – Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Verdicts; Fatawa Islamiyah, vol. 8, pg. 355 __
