How to deal with papers on which Allaah’s name is mentioned

What is the sharia's rulingabout personal names found in newspapers
etc that include either the prophet's name or Allah's name (Abdullah,
AbdulKarim)? How may these papers be disposed of or destroyed?
Praise be to Allaah.
These papers on which Allaah's name is mentioned should be keptand
protected against being handled with disrespect until you have
finished with them. Whenyou have finished with them and no longer have
any need of them, they should be buried in a clean place, or burnt, or
kept in a place where they will be protected against disrespect, such
asin a cupboard or on shelves, etc
