Is it permissible to touch the names of Allah, Muhammad, or Ali without ablution outside of the Quran? For example, if the phrase 'Hizbullah' or 'Nasrallah' is written, can one touch these words without ablution? What about the name 'Hussein'?

Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
It is preferable to avoid touching the names of the Almighty, the Prophets, and the Imams (peace be upon them) and their titles and nicknames without ablution.
As for someone in a state of major ritual impurity, it is forbidden for them to touch the names of the Almighty, Blessed and Exalted.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is not permissible for someone in a state of ritual impurity to touch the name of the Almighty and other names and attributes of Allah, as a precautionary obligation. This also applies, as a precaution, to the names of the Prophets, the Imams, and the Lady of Women (peace and blessings be upon them all).
