Is it a sin for one who does not consider wudu' obligatory from camel meat because he follows a scholar?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people do not consider wudu' obligatory from camel meat. If they knew that wudu' is obligatory, but they were following some scholars, would they sin by doing so?
The Shaykh : Following whom, exactly?
The questioner : Some scholars say they do not consider it obligatory.
The Shaykh : Which scholar says that?
The questioner : In some countries, they do not consider it obligatory.
The Shaykh : In some countries, some scholars said, "This is not acceptable. It is vague. Specify a particular school of jurisprudence."
The questioner : Do you remember some books, or not?
The Shaykh : A particular school of jurisprudence.
The questioner : They follow their desires in choosing schools of jurisprudence.
The Shaykh : Malik, al-Shafi'i, or Abu Hanifah? Pick just one. Al-Shafi'i? Yes, well done. These people will face the Day of Resurrection. On that day, they will be called out and asked, "What did you answer the messengers with? Or what did you answer al-Shafi'i with?" So, once the truth is clear, it is not permissible to deviate, even if your general school is, for example, the school of al-Shafi'i. It is not permissible to deviate.
The questioner : The very people who consider them scholars, if we clarified this matter to them, perhaps...
The Shaykh : By Allah, this matter remains a responsibility on them if they do not trust you. They have a doubt. But if a good scholar comes to them, he should not rebuke them; he should clarify.
