Eating Camel Meat
Question
Is it necessary to make ablution after eating camel meat, or food in which camel meat has been cooked?
Answer:
Ablution after such food is not obligatory, nor after drinking camel milk. It is only required to perform Wudhu' after eating camel meat, according to the most authoritative saying of the scholars, based upon the Hadith of the Prophet in which he said:
"Perform ablution after eating camel meat, and do not perform ablution after eating goat.
Muslim narrated in his Sahih, on the authority of Jabir bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man asked the Prophet: "Should we make ablution after eating female camel meat?" He said: "Yes." And broth is not called meat, nor is food (cooked with camel meat) nor camel milk. Such matters are specific and Qiyas cannot be applied to them. And Allah knows best.
