Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable scholar says: A car broke down with some young men in the desert, and it was extremely hot at midday. They took shelter under a tree where camels take refuge and rest. When the time for prayer came, they prayed under this tree in the camel resting place. Are they excused, or are they required to make up the prayer?
Answer:
No, this does not contradict what is a resting place. It is not one of the camel resting places where they take refuge and graze. This is not a resting place; it is a camel that came to graze or to eat from the grass, and its dung was produced. This is what is harmful. Camel dung is not ritually impure; its dung is pure. The prohibition is only regarding the resting places of camels where they take refuge and spend the night. Yes.
