Has Islamic Sharia prohibited the eating of camel trotters, necks, or heads, whether explicitly, analogously, or by inference?
There is no religious evidence prohibiting the consumption of parts of a ritually slaughtered camel. All parts of a permissible, ritually slaughtered animal are lawful, based on the general meaning of Allah's Almighty saying: {And the grazing livestock He has created for you; in them is warmth and [numerous] benefits, and from them you eat} [An-Nahl: 5]. Some scholars disliked eating certain parts, such as glands and the auricle of the heart. The Hanafis dislike seven things: the penis, the testicles, the vulva, glands, the bladder, the gallbladder, and blood that comes out of meat, the liver, or the spleen. As for the invalidation of ablution (Wudu') by camel meat, the intention is specifically meat, and ablution is not invalidated by other parts such as the liver, heart, spleen, or fat.
