Using a Siddur with Torn Pages

Question

My Siddur has some slightly torn pages, and part of the Name of Hashem has been erased.
Is it considered disrespectful for me to use it and not place it in genizah?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

There is no obligation at all to place the Siddur in genizah; it is permitted to continue using it.
