Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: It is confusing for some people, especially students, to eat camel liver in schools and elsewhere. Some students ate it and then prayed the midday prayer without ablution. The question is: Does camel liver break the ablution? And what is your opinion regarding one who ate it and prayed without ablution?
The Shaykh : Who is the questioner? He prayed incorrectly. You should write it with an alif and a yaa, because whenever the alif exceeds three letters, the yaa is kasrah. Now, we say that eating camel liver, and also she-camel liver, breaks the ablution. As for one who prayed without knowing, what I see is that he should repeat the prayer, like one who prayed without ablution. Three months, three months, how many days are in that? Ninety days. Ninety days means ninety midday prayers. This is the most cautious approach. Otherwise, some scholars say that if they did not know that it was camel meat, or did not know the prohibition, then he does not have to repeat it. But the precaution is to repeat it.
