"Is eating camel meat an obligatory Sunnah once a year or more, and is it necessary to perform ablution (wudu) after it, and are there any hadiths regarding that? "

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Camel meat, like other types of permissible meats for Muslims, is neither obligatory nor a Sunnah to eat. It is a nullifier of ablution (wudu) according to Imam Ahmad and those who agree with him, basing their argument on the hadith of Jabir bin Samurah and Al-Bara' regarding the command to perform ablution after eating camel meat. This opinion is stronger in terms of evidence, even though the majority hold a different view.
