Menstruation: Touching Books of Invocations

Question: I have many dua books which are in arabic and contain soem verses of the Quran, is it permissible for me to hold these books considering that it is some verses and not the whole Quran? also I have some dua books which do not contain any verses of the Quran they do state which verses to read, however they do have various other duas in them in arabic is it ok to hold these types of dua books? Also, is wudu valid when one is having their menses?

Walaikum assalam,

It is permitted to hold dua/wird books with Qur'an in them, in a state of menstruation.

It is permitted to recite duas from the Qur'an, with the intention of supplication, though not with the intention of reciting the Qur'an.

Wudu is not valid during menstruation. However, it is recommended that women perform wudu, and sit in their normal place of prayer for the extent of performing each prayer, supplicating and making dhikr. There is great reward in this, though most neglect it.

Like Sayyidi Abd al-Ghani al-Nablusi said, "Be with Allah / You'll find Allah with you."
