The ruling on one who prays without performing wudu after eating camel meat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter: The other question asks: Are the prayers of those who do not perform wudu after eating camel meat invalid or not? We ask for your guidance?
Answer: Yes, if a person does not believe that camel meat breaks the wudu, but rather believes that it does break it, and then he is lax, his prayer is invalid. However, if a person believes that it does not break the wudu, and holds that camel meat is abrogated, and that it follows the abrogated matters, and he believes this, or he follows one who said that based on his independent reasoning, and that this is the most correct, whether by following a scholar or by independent reasoning, and this is what he holds in his heart, believing that this is the preferable view, then his prayer is not invalid; his prayer is valid, according to his belief. This is like a student of knowledge who exercises independent reasoning and holds that camel meat does not break the wudu, so his prayer is not invalid; because this is the requirement of his knowledge and independent reasoning. Or a group of those who follow the school of al-Shafi'i, Abu Hanifa, or Malik, among those who do not hold that camel meat breaks the wudu, and they see that there is no harm on them according to their belief, whether by following a scholar or by independent reasoning; these people's prayers are valid.
But if a person knows that camel meat breaks the wudu and has no doubt about that, and then he is lax, his prayer is invalid; because he prayed without wudu. Yes.
