The questioner : What is the operative cause and the reason that eating camel meat invalidates the ablution, while the other meats do not require that?
The Shaykh : The wisdom in this is obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), where he said: And he was asked (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do I perform ablution?" Meaning: a questioner asked him, "Do I perform ablution from the meat of sheep?" He said: He said: "Do I perform ablution from the meat of camels?" He said: The fact that he made ablution from sheep meat subject to the person's choice, whereas regarding camel meat he said: is evidence that it is obligatory to perform ablution from camel meat and that it does not return to the person's choice or will. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commands something, it is wisdom, and it is sufficient for the believer that it is a command from Allah and His Messenger. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab 33:36] And when Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked about the menstruating woman who makes up the fast but does not make up the prayer, she said: Mishkat al-Masabih 2032 So she made the wisdom to be the command. Therefore, when Allah and His Messenger command something, the wisdom is in doing it.
Moreover, some of the scholars have indicated a wisdom in this, which is that camel meat contains something that stimulates the nerves, and ablution calms the nerves and cools them. For this reason, a man is commanded to perform ablution when he becomes angry. Contemporary doctors advise a nervous man against eating too much camel meat. If this wisdom is correct, then that is well; and if it is not correct, then the first wisdom is the wisdom, which is the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and worshipping Allah the Exalted by carrying out the command of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Also, from the questions of the listener, he says.

Perform wudu' from camel meat
توضؤوا من لحوم الإبلIf you wish
إن شئتYes
نعمYes
نعمIt is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْThat happened to us, and we were ordered to make up for the fast, but were not ordered to make up for the prayer.
