The wisdom behind the fact that camel meat invalidates the ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sixth question of the fatwa number ( 20173 )
Q 6: Why is eating camel meat among the things that invalidate the ablution ?
A 6: Eating camel meat specifically invalidates the ablution according to the correct opinion of the scholars, as indicated by the authentic hadiths. The wisdom behind its invalidating the ablution is a matter of worship (ta'abbudi) by which we worship Allah, and we are not obligated to know the wisdom. Therefore, it is obligatory for us to believe in and act upon the rulings of the Shari'ah even if we do not grasp the wisdom behind them, while believing that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is the Wise, the All-Knowing. Some of the wisdom may be grasped, and among that is what some scholars mentioned: that camels possess a certain diabolical strength, severity, hatred, and malice toward those who harm them, and that when a person eats their meat, he acquires some of their characteristics and dispositions. For this reason, the ablution was prescribed after eating it, so that what may arise in him from that may be removed. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
