The Wisdom Behind Performing Ablution After Eating the Meat of Cattle

Question:
After that, we move to al-Qasim, and the questioner: (A. A) says: Your Eminence! What is the wisdom behind our performing ablution when we eat the meat of cattle, as opposed to the rest of the sheep? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Allah knows best. The well-known view among the scholars is that it is an act of worship; Allah has commanded us to do it as an act of worship, so we must obey the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) even if we do not know the wisdom behind it. The well-known view among the people of knowledge is that this is an act of worship, and we do not know the wisdom in it. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the Wise, the All-Knowing in everything He commands and forbids (Glorified and Exalted is He), even if we do not know the wisdom. We must act in accordance with what He (Exalted and Majestic is He) has commanded us to do, even if we do not know the wisdom. Yes.
