Does the milk and fat of camels, when turned into oil, invalidate the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : What is your opinion regarding the fat and milk of camels if the fat is melted and made into oil? Does it also invalidate the ablution?
The Shaykh : Yes, the stronger view is that all parts of the camel invalidate the ablution, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make a distinction. He said: And "meat," when used in a general sense, includes all the organs of the animal, as evidenced by the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] Therefore, His statement "and the meat of the pig" includes all its parts. Likewise, for the camel, everything that is eaten from it—whether fat, meat, liver, heart, lung, stomach, intestines, or otherwise—invalidates the ablution.
First: There is no evidence for excluding any part of the camel from this ruling.
Second: It is not known in the Islamic Shari'ah for an animal to have one ruling established for some of its organs and a different ruling for others; rather, the ruling for all of them is the same.
Third: All parts of the camel are nourished by the same blood and the same food, and thus the wisdom is not to distinguish between its organs and parts.
Fourth: It is more cautious to perform ablution after consuming all the parts.
Fifth: It has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the command to perform ablution after consuming the milk of camels. Although performing ablution after consuming camel milk is not obligatory, it is better and more excellent, because the text was only reported regarding meats, and what is intended by it is all the parts. Yes.

حرمت عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزيرFirst: There is no evidence for excluding any part of the camel from this ruling.
