Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Sincerity towards the Book of Allaah includes not putting it in
places where it will be treated with disrespect, or where putting it
there is a kind of disrespect towards it, such as a place where garbage
is put and the like. Hence it is essential to avoid doing what some
children do when they finish their studies, when they throw their books
which may contain part of the Qur’aan in the streets or in the garbage
and so on. Allaah forbid.
As for putting the Qur’aan on clean ground, there is nothing wrong
with that, because this is not disrespecting the Qur’aan or mistreating
it. It often happens that a person is praying or reading from the
Mushaf and he wants to prostrate, so he puts it down in front of him.
This is not regarded as disrespect or mistreatment of the Mus-haf, so
there is nothing wrong with it.
