The answer

Eating camel meat invalidates ablution according to the Hanbalis and the predominant opinion. The fact that llamas resemble camels in creation does not necessitate equating them to camels regarding the invalidation of ablution, because they differ from them in other characteristics, such as their wool. Furthermore, there is no text that equates llamas to camels concerning the ruling of invalidation. Analogy () requires the subsidiary (far') to share the same effective cause (illah) with the original (asl) for the ruling. The illah for the invalidation of ablution by camel meat (that they were created from jinn) is inferred and not explicitly stated in a text; it is an unseen matter that cannot be subject to analogy. Therefore, it is not correct to say that eating llama meat invalidates ablution without a legal proof.
