Disposing of a cassette
Question
I would like to know how does one dispose of a cassette properly that has Quraan and Naats on them? I have many and because new technology in cars doesn't allow to play cassettes any longer, what is the proper way to dispose of them bearing in mind any effects on environment.
Answer
If it cannot be reused and there is no other purpose for it, it can be buried.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
