There are other alternatives for disposing off Quranic Items: Shredding: This is increasingly common in modern times, as long as the letters are shredded finely and the text is unrecognizable as Quran. Some recommend that the shredded material should be buried or put in water afterwards. Storage: One can avoid the issue altogether by putting the Quran into permanent storage rather than disposing of it. Some prefer to wrap the book in a cloth, and hide it away in a safe place. In Pakistan, wrapped Qurans are often stored in caves. In Yemen, Syria, and Tunisia, ancient swaddled Qurans have been found during the renovation of old mosques. Some of these have dated to the seventh century C.E. E-books: One can also avoid the issue by using electronic versions of the Quran. These can be stored without worry about damage, and simply deleted if necessary. #DisposalOfIslamicValuables
