Chapter 30 | Prohibition of Burning Papers With Writings on Them

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْقَرَاطِيسِ تَجْتَمِعُ هَلْ تُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ وَفِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذِكْرِ الله قَالَ لا تُغْسَلُ بِالْمَاءِ أَوَّلاً قَبْلُ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Utbah who has said the following: “Once I asked abu al-Hassan about the papers that accumulate if they can be burned in which names of Allah may also be found. The Imam said, ‘No, they must not be burned instead, first they should be washed with water.’”
