📚Chapter of the nullifiers of the Wudhu

📝Eating camel meat:

Regarding it is the Hadith of Jabir bin Samurah, that a man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ:

Do I perform Wudhu for eating sheep/goat meat? 

He said: 

(إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَوَضَّأْ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَوَضَّأْ)

"If you wish then perform Wudhu and if you wish don't perform Wudhu".

Then he said:

Do I perform Wudhu for eating camel meat? 

He said:

(نَعَمْ فَتَوَضَّأْ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ)

"Yes perform Wudhu for eating camel meat".

Then he said:

Can I pray where camels are rest? 

He said:

(لَا)

"No".

Reported by Muslim (360).

And the Hadith of Baraa bin 'Aazib, he said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked regarding making Wudhu due to camel meat, then he said:

(تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهَا)

"You perform Wudhu for it".

And he was asked regarding sheep/goat meat:

(لَا تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهَا)

"You don't perform Wudhu for it".

And he was asked about the prayer where camels are rest, and then he said:

 (لَا تُصَلُّوا فِي مَبَارِكِ الْإِبِلِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ الشَّيَاطِينِ)

"Don't pray where camels rest because they have the characteristics of the Shayateen.

And he asked regarding the prayer in the areas for sheep/goats, and then he said:

(صَلُّوا فِيهَا؛ فَإِنَّهَا بَرَكَةٌ)

"Pray there, because it is a blessing".

These Hadiths are an evidence for those that say that eating camel meat nullifies the Wudhu. 

It's the Madhab of:

➖Ahmed 

➖Ishaaq

➖Abu Thawr

➖Ibnl Mundhir

➖Ibn Hazm

➖Bayhaqi narrated to be from all the people of Hadith entirely. 

Bayhaqi said:

Some of our companions relayed from Shaafi'i that he said:

If the Hadith regarding camel meat is authentic then I take it as a position. 

Bayhaqi said:

There are two authentic Hadiths regarding it, the Hadith of Jaabir bin Samurah, and the Hadith of Baraa. 

At-Talkhees (1/154).

Ibn Khuzaimah said:

I haven't seen a differing between the scholars of the people of Hadith that this narration is authentic from the angle of it being relayed. 

End of speech from his Sahih (1/62).

Nawawi said:

This Madhab has the strongest proof even though the Majority are upon its contrary. 

End of speech from Sharh Muslim (4/49).

The proof for the majority of the scholars of fiqh is the Hadith of Jaabir bin 'Abdullah, he said:

The last of the two affairs from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not making Wudhu for that which was cooked on fire. 

Reported by Abu Daud (192), Nasaa'i (185), declared Sahih by Albaani. 

Nawawi, said:

But this Hadith is general and the Hadith due to camel meat is specific, and the specific is preceded over the general, and Allah knows best.

End of speech from Sharh Muslim (4/49).

From those that chosen the position of making Wudhu for camel meat being obligatory is:

➖Shaykh-Ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

➖his student Ibn-Ul-Qayyim

➖Shawkaani

➖San'aani

➖Ibn Baz

➖Albaani

➖Ibn 'Utheymeen

➖our Shaykh, Al-Waadi'i. 

May Allah have mercy upon them all.
