What does islam say about throwing litter?
Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Purification is half the faith.' (Tirmidhi)
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) also advised to keep one's backyard clean. Throwing litter is contrary to the Islamic spirit of purification and cleanliness.
