The ruling on ablution from camel meat, its milk, and its broth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: We heard on the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb* that camel meat invalidates the ablution. Is the prayer valid on a carpet made of camel hair? Also, it would be wonderful if you could clarify this matter and cite the evidence for it. Does the milk also affect the ablution? May Allah reward you with good.


Answer:
Yes. Camel meat invalidates the ablution; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded in an authentic hadith to perform ablution from camel meat. He was asked about sheep meat, and he said:
If you wishإن شئت
And he said:
Perform wudu' from camel meatتوضؤوا من لحوم الإبل
As for the intestines, stomach, and fat, there is no ablution required from them, though if one performs ablution, that is good, as a precaution. As for the milk and broth, there is no ablution required from them. The milk is camel milk, and as for the broth, there is no ablution from it. The ablution is only from the meat, due to the authenticity of the hadiths regarding this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the other meats, such as cattle, sheep, and game, there is no ablution required from them. This is specific to camels only. So if one eats camel meat, he must perform ablution, meaning the wiping, meaning he rinses his mouth, sniffs water into his nose, washes his face, washes his hands with the elbows, wipes his head with his ears, and washes his feet. He does not need to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), as istinja' is only for urine and feces. As for camel meat, wind, and so on, sleep, and so on, touching the private parts, this does not require anything but the wiping, which is the ablution consisting of washing the face and hands, wiping the head, and washing the feet. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
