Question

Do I need wudu to touch and read Taleem books like Fazaail Amaal and Fazaail Sadaqah?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to touch the books of Ta’leem such as Fazaail-e- ‘Amaal and Fazaail-e-Sadaqah without Wudhu.

However, it is Mustahab (preferable) to perform Wudhu before touching them.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
