Is it obligatory for the provider of food to inform the diners of the type of meat?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : Is it obligatory for the provider of food to inform them that this meat is camel meat?

The Shaykh : He says: Is it obligatory for the provider of food to inform the diners that it is camel meat?
We look at what the scholars said: if a person sees someone intending to perform wudu with impure water, it is obligatory for him to inform him. Is this case similar to that?
It is exactly the same, because you know that this man is going to pray, and if you do not inform him, it means you have left him to pray without wudu. Therefore, you must inform him. But if you were asked, "Is it obligatory to inform him?"
The answer: Yes, it is obligatory. The hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the owner of the pool, if the narration is authentic, indicates that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to prevent the questioner from delving too deeply into the religion. Yes?

The questioner : I mean, O Shaykh, he informs them.

The Shaykh : That is, he says, he says, whether he performs wudu or not, he informs him that it is camel meat.

The questioner : What if the provider of food does not consider wudu necessary after eating camel meat?

The Shaykh : But he knows that these people consider wudu necessary.
