The answer

Those who hold the view that ablution (wudu') is obligatory after eating camel meat, namely the Hanbalis, disagree on whether this applies to all parts of the camel, such as the liver, spleen, tripe, and fat, or if it is restricted to the meat itself. There are two opinions on this matter:

1. First Opinion: Ablution is only obligatory after eating the meat specifically (the lean flesh). 2. Second Opinion: Ablution is obligatory after eating the meat and other parts of the camel, such as the liver, spleen, and fat.

In summary, the issue is a matter of disagreement. The safer approach is for a person to perform ablution after eating any part of the camel, such as the tripe, liver, spleen, and the like, to avoid disagreement and out of caution for the validity of the prayer. As for camel milk, ablution is not obligatory after consuming it.
