The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I fasted on the Day of Ashura and I was in a state of wudu for the Maghrib prayer. The next day, my brother told me that what I had broken my fast with the previous day contained camel meat. Do I repeat the Maghrib prayer? Knowing that I was not aware of it.

The Shaykh:
Yes, you repeat it if you are certain that you ate from the meat of camels, whether it was the outer layer or the rest; it is all the same. You repeat the Maghrib prayer because you did not perform wudu.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. I fasted on the Day of Ashura and I was in a state of wudu for the Maghrib prayer. The next day, my brother told me that what I had broken my fast with the previous day contained camel meat,

The Shaykh:
If it was intentional and you ate camel meat, then you repeat the prayer. But if it was just a soup or broth with no meat in it, only the taste of the meat, that does not harm and does not invalidate the wudu.
