Islamic Verdicts - Volume II Q: Is it necessary to make ablution after eating camel meat, or food in which camel meat has been cooked? A: 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 (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam) in which he said: “Perform ablution after eating camel meat, and do not perform ablution after eating goat” (At-Tirmithi no. 21 and Abu Dawud no. 184). Muslim narrated in his Sahih, on the authority of Jabir bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man asked the Prophet (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam): "Should we make ablution after eating female camel meat?" He said: "Yes." (Muslim no. 366). 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 know best. Ibn Baz
Supplications of Wudhu' and does Ghusl eliminate the necessity for Wudhu'? Q: Are there any supplications which should be said upon making Wudhu', and does Ghusl eliminate the need for Wudhu'? A: It is required to say Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) before making Wudhu'. So when performing Madhmadhah (Madhmadhah : Rinsing the mouth) or washing the hands one says: Bismillah. After making ablution, he should lift his gaze to the heavens and say: "I testify that none is worthy of worship except Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. O Allah! Make me one of the repentant ones and make me one of the pure ones” (At-Tirmithi no. 55). He may also perform Kaffaratul-Majlis after performing Wudhu', saying: "All glory and praise and thanks be to You, O Allah; I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except You. I ask Your Forgiveness and I turn to You in repentance” (141 An-Nasa'i 1: 135 and 2: 325). Other than what we have mentioned, there is nothing else authentic to be said at the time of ablution. It is a Sunnah for whoever was obliged to make Ghusl, to perform a complete Wudhu' before it. Then he performs Ghusl after that, avoiding touching his penis or his private part while making Ghusl, so that his Wudhu' is not invalidated. After finishing, it is sufficient for him, without the need to repeat the Wudhu'. If he does not perform Wudhu', sufficing himself with Ghusl, and washing the parts of the body in the same order in which they are washed when making Wudhu', it will be enough for him, without making Wudhu', if Allah wills. Ibn Jibreen
Broth made from Camel Meat does not nullify Wudhu' Q: What is the wisdom in camel meat nullifying Wudhu', and does broth made from camel meat nullify Wudhu' also? A: It has been authentically reported from the Prophet (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam) that he ordered Wudhu' to be made after eating camel meat, and he did not explain to us the wisdom behind it. We know that Allah, the Most Glorified is Most Wise and All-Knowing, and that He does not prescribe anything for His servants, except what is good and beneficial for them in this life and in the Hereafter, nor does He prohibit them from anything, except what is harmful to them in this life and in the Hereafter. And it is an obligation upon the Muslim to accept the Commands of Allah, the Most Glorified, and His Messenger (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam), and to act upon them, even if he does not know the exact wisdom behind them, as it is obligatory for him to abstain from those things which Allah and His Messenger (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam) have forbidden for us, even if he does not know the precise wisdom behind them, because he is a creature who is commanded to obey Allah and His Messenger (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam), created for that purpose. Therefore, he must comply and submit, with faith that Allah is Most Wise and All-Knowing, and when the wisdom is known, then that is an additional form of good. As for the broth made from camel meat - and likewise the milk - they do not invalidate Wudhu'; only the meat does so, according to the words of the Prophet (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam): “Perform ablution after eating camel meat, and do not perform ablution after eating goat” (At-Tirmithi no 81 and Abu Dawud no 184). And a man asked him, saying: "O Messenger of Allah! Should we make ablution after eating camel meat?" He said: "Yes." The man asked: "Should we make ablution after eating goat?" He (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam) replied: “If you wish” (Muslim no 360). And these are both authentic Hadiths reported from the Prophet (Salallahou ‘aleyhi wa salam). Ibn Baz
