Does eating camel meat and liver and heart invalidate the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : And by Allah, I have a question for you, may you live long, regarding eating camel liver, heart, and kidneys: does it invalidate the ablution or not?

The Shaykh : From camels? Yes, yes. If a person eats camel meat,

The questioner : Is it meat, or is it the taste of the liver?

The Shaykh : Stay with me, stay with me. If a person eats camel meat, it is obligatory for him to perform the ablution. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. And he was asked:
“Should I perform ablution after eating mutton?” He replied, “If you wish so”, he then asked, “Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?” He (ﷺ) said: “Yes”.أتوضأ من لحوم الغنم؟ قال إن شئت، قال أتوضأ من لحوم الإبل؟ قال نعم
Bulugh al-Maram 75
. The command is for obligation, and camel meat includes everything within its skin, meaning all its parts invalidate the ablution: the fat, the liver, the intestines, the kidneys, the heart, the head, and the stomach. Everything in the camel invalidates the ablution.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And this is indicated by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that people eat all of that and did not exclude anything. And when Allah the Exalted said:
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swineحُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنزِيرِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
, the meat of the pig became an invalidator of the ablution in all its parts. So likewise, the meat of the camel invalidates the ablution in all its parts, and nothing is excluded from that.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, but

The Shaykh : Regarding illness, it does not invalidate the ablution.

The questioner : And what, may you live long?

The Shaykh : Regarding milk, it does not invalidate the ablution, but if a person performs the ablution from that, it is better. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, peace be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah.
