2) If the words of the Quran are more than that of the tafseer then it will not be permissible to touch the tafseer book without wudhu; otherwise it will be permissible as long as one does not touch the words of the Quran. (Ahsanul Fatawa vol. 2 pg. 27 H.M. Saeed)
3) One may touch books of Hadith and Fiqh without wudhu; however, it is mustahab (preferable) to do wudhu before touching such books. [2]
And Allah knows best.
