How to Properly Dispose of a Damaged Quran

Islamic guidance on Quran disposal citing classical jurisprudence (Imam al-Haskafi). Approved methods in order of preference: (1) burial in a clean, deep location — the preferred method, (2) placing in flowing water so the ink dissolves, (3) burning only as a last resort when burial is not possible. Consult your local imam if you are unsure.
