Reading an Islamic book with Aayaat from the Qur'an without wudhu

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2014-06-18 08:06

Q: If one is reading an Islamic book that happens to have an ayat of the Quran in it, does one need to have wudhu to read this book? I am reading a book on the fundamentals of Islam and there are a few verses from the Quran throughout this book. Do I need to have wudhu to read this book or can I read this book without wudhu as long as I do not touch the verses that are written?

A: You can read the book without wudhu provided you do not touch the verses of the Qur'an.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
