A few days ago, at the Atlantic Ave. subway station in Brooklyn, I noticed some Chaba"d-oriented segulah pamphlets sitting on the staircase ledge. I took one and notice that it hadTehillim with the printed 4-letter name of G-d in it.
The pamphlets were on a public stairway ledge. Millions of people pass by this area and put their hands on the stairway ledge and between the wind from the trains and people passing by, people's hand movement on the ledge, these pamphlets would most likely end up on the floor and trampled on by others. Non-Jews (as an example) may pick up the pamphlet for curiosity and then dump it in the garbage. It seems quite likely that this pamphlet would be desecrated.
Is one allowed to place such pamphlets or similar material in this way where it is quite likely that eventually it will be "mishandled"?
