Touching a booklet that has Quraanic verses and the translation
Question
In my Quran classes we use a para/juz wise booklet. One side of each page has Arabic and it's word to word Urdu translation while the other side is entirely blank lines for us to write the tafseer and notes. There are a few pages of Urdu notes in the starting and ending too. Can this be touched without wudu, because writing tafsir and making notes daily would be a lot difficult otherwise.
Answer
Apart from the few pages, if the whole book has Quraanic verses and the translation of the verses, then it will not be permissible to touch this book without wudu.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
