#5165 Bible Bashers?
Question
Is it permitted to use the pages of the King James Bible as kindling for a fireplace, (during winter, as I deal with discarded books), or are they Osur B’Hano’o (prohibited in benefit)?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that if the name of Hashem is written in Hebrew (Yud Kei Vov Kei) it would be prohibited to burn them, since one is destroying Hashem’s name. If not, there is no prohibition to burn them and then to benefit from the fire.
See next question.
