Is it obligatory to perform wudu' after eating camel meat?

The questioner : What?

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. This person asks, saying that he performed wudu', then ate camel meat and prayed without performing wudu' again. We say that he must repeat the prayer; he must perform wudu' and repeat the prayer, because eating camel meat invalidates wudu', whether he ate it raw or cooked, and whether he ate from the meat, the liver, the intestines, the stomach, the heart, the head, or any part of the camel. Yes, he says he ate it and did not know it was camel meat, and he prayed. We say that if he learns it was camel meat and did not perform wudu' after eating it, he must repeat the prayer, because he prayed without wudu'. If you wish. We have spoken about this before, and I asked you to remind me of a question on this topic, but you forgot. So what is this question? Today, I think, how many? Sixteen. And I think the one I spoke to was about a week or less ago, and you forgot to remind us. We told you that the view that wudu' is obligatory from eating camel meat is the madhhab of Imam Ahmad. And the three Imams say that wudu' is not obligatory from camel meat. But we have a scale that Allah the Exalted ordered us to return to in case of disagreement, and what is it? The Book and the Sunnah, . And if we return this issue to Allah and the Messenger, we find that the hadith in it is explicit, and that it is obligatory for whoever eats camel meat to perform wudu'. The argument of the others is the hadith of Jabir, who said: "The last of the two things from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaving off wudu' from what fire has touched." And they said that if this was the last of the two things, it indicates that it is an abrogation, and that the order to perform wudu' from camel meat is abrogated. But this is not valid evidence for that, i.e., for not invalidating wudu' with camel meat, because Jabir said: "The last of the two things from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaving off wudu' from what fire has touched," and he did not say from camel meat. Pay attention. He only mentioned "what fire has touched" because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered wudu' from what fire has touched, and then afterwards he ate from what fire has touched and did not perform wudu'.
So the abrogated thing, if it is established, we say that this is from the category of abrogation: the wudu' from what fire has touched. As for camel meat, it is an independent ruling, because camel meat invalidates wudu' whether fire has touched it or not. Then, some of the scholars say that the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not contradict his saying, and that the saying, if it is established, must be followed, while the action is not considered a specification because it is possible that it is from the specific characteristics of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) went to this in his explanation of al-Muntaqa, in the tail of al-Awtar, that the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not contradict his saying due to the possibility of specificity, while the saying is directed to the ummah, so they must follow it. But we do not agree with Al-Shawkani on this principle, because the action of the Messenger is a Sunnah and his saying is a Sunnah, so one specifies the other. However, we say that the ruling on leaving off wudu' from what fire has touched does not apply to the order to perform wudu' from camel meat, due to the difference in the two places.
And the summary is that camel meat invalidates wudu', whether it is raw or cooked, fat or red meat, liver or heart, or anything else. Yes.

The Shaykh : It is said: Does its milk invalidate wudu'? Does camel milk invalidate wudu'?

The questioner : It invalidates it.

The Shaykh : Where is the evidence? What? Good, good. He says: Because the order to perform wudu' only came for whoever ate meat, and milk is not meat. This is good, but it has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he ordered wudu' from camel milk, except that this order is carried over to being recommended. And the evidence for this is that the 'Uraynah who came to Madinah and were afflicted with the illness that afflicted them, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to go out to the zakat camels.
