📚Chapter of the nullifiers of the Wudhu

📝Camels milk:

Regarding it is the Hadith of Usayd bin Hudhayr, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he was asked about camels milk, and he said:

(تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا)

"Make Wudhu for drinking its milk"

And he was asked regarding sheep/goat milk, and he said:

(لَا تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا)

"Don't perform Wudhu for drinking its milk"

Reported by Ahmed (19097), Ibn Majah (496), Tabaraani in Kabeer (559), from the way of Hajjaaj bin Arta'ah, from 'Abdillah bin 'Abdullah Mawla (freed slave) of Bani Hashim, from 'Abdirrahman bin Abi Laylaa, from Usayd bin Hudayr. 

And Hajjaaj is weak, and 'Abdurrahman didn't hear from Usayd. 

And the Hadith of 'Abdillah bin 'Umar, he said: 

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say:

(تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ، وَلَا تَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ، وَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِ الْإِبِلِ، وَلَا تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِ الْغَنَمِ، وَصَلُّوا فِي مُرَاحِ الْغَنَمِ، وَلَا تُصَلُّوا فِي مَعَاطِنِ الْإِبِلِ)

"Perform Wudhu for eating camel meat, and don't perform Wudhu for eating sheep/goat meat, perform Wudhu for drinking camel meat, and don't perform Wudhu for drinking sheep/goat milk, you can pray in the sleeping areas of goat/sheep but don't sleep at the resting place for camels".

Reported by Ibn Majah (497), its chain of narration is weak, it contains Baqiyyah bin Al-Waleed who's a Mudalis, and Khaalid bin Yazeed bin 'Umar bun Hubaira Al-Fazaari who's Majhool, and 'Attaa bin As-Saaib who's Mukhtalit. 

Ibn Qudamah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Regarding camel milk are two positions:

One of them:

That it nullifies the Wudhu - the two Hadiths of Usayd and Ibn 'Umar are used as a proof -.

The second:

There's no Wudhu due to it, because the Hadith which is authentic only mentions the meat. 

Then he said:

The ruling (behind this) is not reached through intellect, so it's a must to refrain to what has been textually mentioned. 

End of speech from Al-Mughni (1/140).

The authentic legislative texts only mention the meat, so we restrict to it. 

And what's used as a supplementary aiding evidence is the Hadith of Anas regarding the story of the 'Uraynis, and that the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to drink camels milk and urine, and he didn't notify them to perform Wudhu due to it.
