Does the liver of a camel and its milk invalidate the ablution?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
O Shaykh, may Allah reward you, O Shaykh: Does the liver of a camel and the milk of a camel invalidate the ablution, just as...?

The Shaykh : Is the question about the liver and not about the milk?

The questioner : Does the milk of a camel invalidate the ablution, just as its meat does?

The Shaykh : It is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to perform ablution from the meat of camels. He was asked, "Do we perform ablution from the meat of camels?" and he said:
Perform ablution it you so desire نعم، قال: من لحوم الغنم؟ قال: إن شئت
Sahih Muslim 360a
Therefore, every part of the camel invalidates the ablution: the liver, the lungs, the spleen, the intestines, the stomach, and others. As for the milk, some scholars hold that it invalidates the ablution, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Perform ablution from the milk of camels. توضؤوا من ألبان الإبل
However, most of the scholars who say that the meat of camels invalidates the ablution say that this is on the basis of recommendation. They cite as evidence for this that when the delegation from 'Uraynah or Juhaynah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and they were afflicted by the illness of Medina and complained about it, he said:
Go out to the camels of charity and drink from their milk and their urine. اخرجوا إلى إبل الصدقة اشربوا من ألبانها وأبوالها
He did not command them to perform ablution, even though they were newly converted to Islam. They said: So the silence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding commanding them to perform ablution, despite the high likelihood of ignorance among them, indicates that the milk of camels does not invalidate the ablution. However, if you perform ablution, it is better.
