The Ablution from Camel Meat and Its Wisdom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, what is the wisdom behind performing wudu' when we eat camel meat, Honorable Shaykh? And are there any hadiths regarding this?

Answer:
Yes, a hadith has been reported that
whether he should perform ablution after (eating) mutton. He (the Messenger of Allah) said:أتوضأ من لحوم الغنم؟ قال
Sahih Muslim 360a
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked. They said: Should we perform wudu' after eating sheep meat? He said: No. They said: Should we perform wudu' after eating camel meat? He said: Yes. So one performs wudu' after eating camel meat. Eating camel meat invalidates the wudu'. As for the wisdom behind that, Allah knows best. Yes.
