How do I dispose of papers with the names of Allah SWT, the prophets as or Imams as. Can I just cross the names out and throw the paper away? November 6, 2020 by Hasan mahdi Yes, you may cross out the names and then dispose of the papers. Or you may cast the papers in a body of water such as a river or lake. But burning the papers or shredding them is considered desecrating the names, so it would be prohibited. Sayed Mohammad Baqer Qazwini Akhlaqenglish
