Does eating camel meat invalidate the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Some people ask, saying that he ate camel meat while in a state of ablution and wanted to pray, so is he required to perform ablution or is he not required to? He ate camel meat while in a state of ablution and then wanted to pray; is he required to perform ablution?
We say yes, he is required; he is required to perform ablution. What is the wisdom? Is this meat not lawful? By explicit text and scholarly consensus. How does a person perform ablution from it when it is lawful? We say because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, and that is sufficient. He was not commanded to do it except for a wisdom. If you understand it, you understand it, and if you do not understand it, then this is the command of Allah and His Messenger, and whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah. For this reason, the stronger position among the scholars' views is that if a person eats camel meat, whether raw or cooked, whether it is the liquid, the fat, the liver, the intestines, or anything from the camel, his ablution is invalidated and it is obligatory for him to perform ablution if he wants to pray.
