The third question of the fatwa number ( 557 ) Q3: Is the ablution obligatory for one who eats camel meat, and what is the reason for this?

A3: Praise be to Allah alone, and may peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions... And after: If one eats camel meat, the ablution becomes obligatory for him for prayer, whether the prayer is obligatory or voluntary;

Based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was asked about the ablution for eating camel meat, he said: Yes. And when he was asked about the ablution for eating sheep meat, he said: If you wish.

لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما سئل عن الوضوء من لحوم الإبل، قال: نعم، ولما سئل عن الوضوء من لحوم الغنم، قال: إن شئت

narrated by the Imam Muslim in his Sahih. The scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the wisdom behind this: Camels are known for intense hatred, harboring malice toward those who harm them, and being eager for revenge even if a long time passes. He mentioned that a person acquires the nature of what he eats, so the ablution was prescribed for one who eats camel meat to remove any hatred or resentment that may arise from it. It is obligatory to submit to the rulings of the Shari'ah
entirely to Allah, even if one does not know the wisdom behind them, and Allah knows best. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
