Question:
Is it permissible to touch books that contain Qur'anic verses, such as books of Islamic jurisprudence, without being in a state of ritual purity?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, because they are not mushafs. These are books of exegesis, books of hadith, and books of language. Even if they contain verses, they are not mushafs. What is forbidden is touching the mushaf without being in a state of ritual purity. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1.
