The reason for the prohibition of praying in the grazing grounds of camels

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it true that the prayer is not valid in the grazing grounds of camels, and what is the reason for that?

Answer:
Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited praying in the grazing grounds of camels, because the camels may come to him while he is praying and annoy him, or cause him harm. This is one aspect. The other aspect is that they mentioned that camels are mixed with devils. Camels have intensity and strength, and devils mix with them, unlike sheep, which have tranquility and calmness. Therefore, he prayed in the resting places of sheep. Yes.
