The ruling on praying in a place containing camel dung

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes we pray in the desert and find in our prayer area the dung of a camel that the flood brought. Is the prayer valid in this place?

Answer:
What caused that? Because this is not considered a camel grazing ground. Even if some of the camels were in this flood, or a camel passed by this place and some dung fell from it, this does not harm. It is not a grazing ground. A grazing ground is the place where camels gather, defecate, and frequent. As for mere dung on the ground, or a camel passing by, or livestock that produced dung in the desert, this has no effect, and this is not considered a grazing ground. Yes.
