11. Hukm of Burning an Extra Sheet of The Holy Qur’an
Is it allowed to recite on the repeated printed part of the holy Qur’an ? and is it allowed too to tear the the extra printed paper of the holy Qur’an and burning it ?
If there are repeated part in the holy Qur’an due to printing error, then there is no sin in tearing them up and burning them on fire.
And scholars give their daleel of permission to burn the torn up and damaged Quran following the act of Caliph Uthman (may Allah pleased with him), as when he copied the mushaf which it was in Hafsahs {Wife of the Prophet (Pbuh) and then sent every part of the entire a copied mushaf, and then he ordered the other copies of Quran in sheets or books to be burned on fire.
