Q:

1. How should one dispose of novels, like romance and horror stories, 'Harry Potter' etc.?

2. How should one dispose of magazines like 'National Geographic' that contain many images of animate objects like animals? I am unsure if it is necessary to burn these types of literature, or if tearing and throwing them away is sufficient.

Q: The following situation befall me: I went to the toilet and seated on it and while I was doing my need, I saw under my feet a catholic newspaper was spread down. I saw words like "god". I hesitated whether I should remove it while doing my need or whether I should leave it. Then my mind decided that since it is a catholic newspaper and the word "god" is not like the name "Allah" I should leave it. Then after I finished and went to flush the toilet, I had still some hesitation and I took out the newspaper and looked what else was written and found in the inside also sentences about a death news "may she find rest by god". Then I just put the paper outside the toilet. Now was it kufr that I left it inside the toilet and not took it out immediately once I saw the word "god"?
