Does eating camel meat invalidate the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : What is the correct ruling regarding this issue? That is, the issue of whether eating camel meat invalidates the ablution. The correct ruling is that it is obligatory to perform ablution after eating camel meat.

Answer : Without exception, whether it is liver, stomach, intestines, meat, or fat, due to the generality of the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Perform ablution from eating camel meat." And because he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about ablution from eating camel meat and said, "Yes," and asked about ablution from eating sheep meat and said, "If you wish." The fact that he made the matter dependent on the person's choice regarding sheep meat indicates that there is no choice for the person regarding camel meat, and that he is required to perform ablution. So the correct ruling is that it is obligatory to perform ablution after eating camel meat, whether it is a small amount or a large amount, raw or cooked, whether it is called meat by custom or not.
