Phone cards that contain some Dhikr


A: The deliberate disrespect or abuse of these cards on which any kind of Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah), Ayahs (Qur'anic verses), or Names of Allah are written and throwing them away to be trodden upon is emphatically Haram (prohibited). (Part No. 3; Page No. 43) This may amount to Kufr (disbelief), because it is obligatory to glorify Allah (Exalted be He), His Signs and Names. Allah (Glorified be He) states: Thus it is [what has been mentioned in the above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to Allâh] and whosoever honours the Symbols of Allâh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts. Allah also states concerning those who mock and offend Islam: If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was it at Allâh (Glorified and Exalted be He), and His Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations) and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; you disbelieved after you had believed. In light of this, it is not permissible to write any words of Dhikr on such cards that are commonly liable to degradation. Whoever does this should be punished in order to honor that which Allah has made sacred.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
