The wisdom behind the invalidation of wudu' from eating camel meat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener says in his question: What is the wisdom behind the invalidation of wudu' after eating camel meat? And is it only its meat that invalidates wudu'?

Answer:
Allah knows the wisdom best, but we comply with the command even if we do not know the wisdom. The command to perform wudu' from eating camel meat has come in the authentic hadith, so we are required to perform wudu' from camel meat when praying. If one eats it while in a state of wudu', his wudu' is invalidated, so he is required to perform wudu'.
In language, the term "meat" is applied to everything other than the internal organs, such as the intestines and the liver, because if you entrusted someone to buy you meat, and he bought liver or intestines, the agency would not be executed. When "meat" is used in a general sense, it includes the known meat.
Some scholars hold that the invalidation of wudu' includes everything eaten from the camel, even if it is from its intestines or liver. If one performs wudu' from these things as a precaution, meaning from the liver and the intestines, performing wudu' as a precaution is good.
As for sheep and goats, there is no wudu' required from them, because when asked, "Do we perform wudu' from the meat of sheep?" he said, "No, there is no wudu' from the meat of sheep." Yes.
