As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakuhu:
Does anyone have any information on the prohibition of disposing of paperwork with the name of Allah on it. My concern is that I receive paperwork and mail with my last name Hamidullah. Also, I have accumulated over the years magazines and articles which have the name of Allah in them. I seem to remember a suggestion about burying or burning such paperwork years ago. However, I don't know if this was an established sunnah. Does anyone have any daleel on this?
Jazakum Allahu khayrin

A sign (of a person) having love for Allaah is his increase in his rememberance of Him (Allaah), for verily you do not love something except that you increase rememberance of that (thing)"
