Mentioning that eating camel meat invalidates the ablution and explaining the wisdom behind it.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : On this occasion, I would like to point out a common issue among the general public. It is well known that if a person who is in a state of ablution eats camel meat, his ablution is invalidated, and he must perform ablution again if he wishes to pray. This applies whether the meat is eaten raw or cooked, and whether it is the intestines, liver, small intestine, stomach, heart, or lungs. Whatever the camel carries, eating it invalidates the ablution, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not exclude anything. He said: Sunan Ibn Majah 497Da'if (Darussalam), . Sheep meat does not invalidate the ablution, cow meat does not invalidate the ablution, and horse meat does not invalidate the ablution, but camel meat does invalidate it. If you eat it raw or cooked, intestines or otherwise, you must perform ablution.
As for drinking its milk, the correct view is that it does not invalidate the ablution. This is because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the 'Uraynah tribe to go out to the zakat camels and drink from their urine and milk, he did not order them to perform ablution. If it had been obligatory, he would have ordered them to do so. However, if one performs ablution, that is better, but it is not obligatory.
Likewise, broth does not require ablution, but if you perform ablution, that is better. As for the meat, it is necessary, and likewise for the fat, it is necessary to perform ablution from it.
Some people say that the reason is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was at a feast where the meat was camel meat, and that wind came from one of the attendees, and it was not known from whom. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perform ablution, all of you." They made this the reason for a person performing ablution from camel meat. This is a lie; this is a fabricated hadith with no basis. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only ordered ablution from camel meat for a wisdom that Allah knows. We may know it, or we may not know it. The important thing is that we say: We heard and we obeyed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to perform ablution from camel meat when we eat it, so we hear and obey.
Perform ablution after (eating) camel meat
