Ruling on touching books or magazines which contain verses of the Qur’aan for one who is menstruating or in a state of impurity following sexual activity (i.e. junub)
Question

                I know that it is not permissible to touch the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur’aan containing Arabic text only) unless one has wudoo’, but does this ruling apply to single verses or books of Tafseer (Qur’aanic commentary) or books of Seerah (Prophet’s biography) etc?
Praise be to Allah.
    It is not permissible for a person who is in a state of 
    impurity to touch a single aayah because the ruling on that is the same as 
    the ruling on the Mus-haf. But if there are other things written alongside 
    the aayah, as in books of Tafseer and Fiqh, then the ruling depends on which 
    is the greater; if there is more Qur’aan than anything else, then it is 
    haraam to touch it without wudoo’, but if there is more of writings other 
    than Qur’aan, then it is permissible to touch it. 
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have 
    mercy on him) said: “Anything on which there is Qur’aan comes under the same 
    rulings as the Mus-haf if there is only Qur’aan on it, but if other things 
    are written on it as well as Qur’aan, then the ruling depends on which is 
    the greater. It is permissible to touch books of tafseer, hadeeth, fiqh and 
    essays in which there is some Qur’aan.” (Sharh al-‘Uddah, 1/385).
