Salamun Alaykum,

The following further question was kindly answered by Mulla Asgher.

Question:

What is the source of the ruling that Mulla Asgher quoted to state that 
throwing away the English transliteration of Qur'an was not allowed ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
Answer:
Any act that leads to desecration of the Qur'an, (text, translation or
transliteration) is forbidden - this is due to the inherent sanctity of the
Holy Book.

The sanctity extends to the name of Allah whether in Qur'an or not, eg
Ayatullah Seestani says that  based on obligatory precaution, it is not
allowed to touch the name of Allah without wudhu, regardless of the language
it may be written in. Masail 325, Islamic Laws

Wasalaam
