From the things that invalidate wudu' is eating camel meat; does its milk invalidate wudu' or not?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From the things that invalidate wudu' is eating camel meat.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Does its milk invalidate wudu' or not?

The Shaykh : Yes, from the things that invalidate wudu' is eating camel meat, whatever the meat may be, whether it is the liver, the kidney, the heart, the intestines, the stomach, or the red meat. Everything that a person eats invalidates his wudu', because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Perform wudu' from camel meat توضؤوا من لحوم الإبل
Yes نعم
He said, "Do I have to perform wudu' from sheep meat?" He said:
If you wish إن شئت
The fact that he made wudu' from sheep meat subject to the person's choice, whereas for camels he said:
Yes نعم
is evidence that wudu' from camel meat is not subject to the person's choice and that it is necessary.
As for its milk, there is a hadith with a good chain of narration regarding the command to perform wudu' from it, but it is not on the basis of obligation. The evidence is that the 'Uraynah who came to Madinah and suffered from the climate were ordered by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to go to the zakah camels and drink from their urine and milk, and he did not say, "Perform wudu'," even though the need to clarify that was present if it had been obligatory. The correct view is that wudu' from their milk is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory, whereas from their meat it is obligatory and necessary. Yes.
