If someone eats camel meat and then performs ablution (wudu') with the intention of purifying themselves from a state of impurity () or for prayer, and then remembers eating camel meat during their prayer, their prayer is valid and they should complete it. However, if they intended to renew their ablution (which is supererogatory) and it becomes clear that they had eaten camel meat, which invalidates ablution, then it is more cautious for them to repeat the prayer. Scholars have differed regarding the validity of their purification and prayer in this situation.
