The Ruling on Performing Wudu After Eating Camel Meat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! I ate camel meat several times and did not perform wudu after eating it. I forgot and prayed while knowing that camel meat invalidates wudu. I do not know the number of prayers I prayed in this state?
This issue is part of a general issue: If a person breaks his wudu by urinating or defecating and forgets to perform wudu and prays, is his prayer valid?Answer: No.
By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Allah does not accept the prayer of any of you when he breaks his wudu until he performs wudu) and His saying: (The prayer is not accepted without purification) .
Accordingly, his prayer is not valid, so it is obligatory for him to make up the prayers he prayed without wudu after eating the meat,When he says: I do not know,We said: let him investigate; if it is most likely in his mind that it was five or six prayers, he should act on that likelihood, and if nothing is most likely in his mind, let him take the lesser number;Meaning: that it was five, for example; because that is certain, and what is more is doubtful and no action is based on it.
