In my area, camel's meat is rare. But at the day of Eid, the camel's meat will be imported and I'll be served with that Insha Allah.

I heard a friend saying that eating camel's meat will break wudu.

Is it so?

Is there any hadith available to prove the above statement true?

  • Camel's meat was haraam for bani Israel while Allah made it halaal for us... it does invalidate the wudu unlike the eating of other animals' meats. Though I recall having read a hadith about this, I do not exactly recall where or its reference.

    As far as I know only the Hanbali sect believe that it breaks the wudu, and none of the other sects believe so.

Yes, Eating camel meat invalidates the ablution. This is because of the following narration from the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wassalam):

Narrated Jabir bin Samura (radiallahu anhu): A man asked the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wassalam), “Should I perform ablution after eating mutton?” He replied, “If you wish so”, he then asked, “Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?” He (salallahu alayhi wassalam) said: “Yes”. [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; { أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ اَلْغَنَمِ? قَالَ: إِنْ شِئْتَ قَالَ: أَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ اَلْإِبِلِ ? قَالَ: نَعَمْ } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِم ٌ (94)‏ .‏
