Broth made from Camel Meat does not nullify Wudhu' | Ash-Shaykh Ibn Baz

 *Broth made from Camel Meat does not nullify Wudhu' | Ash-Shaykh Ibn Baz*


Question: What is the wisdom in camel meat nullifying Wudhu' and does broth made from camel meat nullify Wudhu' also?


Answer: It has been authentically reported from the Prophet salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam that he ordered Wudhu' to be made after eating camel meat, and he did not explain to us the wisdom behind it.

We know that Allah the Most Glorified is Most Wise and All Knowing, and that he does not prescribe anything for His servants, except what is good and beneficial for them in this life and in the Hereafter.


And it is an obligation upon the Muslim to accept the commands of Allah, the Most Glorified, and His messengersalallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, and to act upon them, even if he does not know the exact wisdom behind them, as it is obligatory for him to abstain from those things which Allah and His messenger salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam have forbidden for us, even if he does not know the precise wisdom behind them, because he is a creature who is commanded to obey Allah and His messenger salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam, created for that purpose.


Therefore, he must comply and submit, with faith that Allah is Most Wise and All Knowing, and when the wisdom is known, then that is an additional form of good.

As for the broth made from camel meat – and likewise the milk- they do not invalidate Wudhu; only the meat does so, according to the words of the Prophet salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam: "Perform ablution after eating camel meat and do not perform ablution after eating goat." [At-Tirmithi no.81 and Abu Dawud nos.184]


And a man asked him, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Should we make ablution after eating camel meat?’ He said: "Yes". The man asked: ‘Should we make ablution after eating goat?’ He salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: "If you wish." [Muslim no.360]


And these are both authentic hadiths reported from the Prophet salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
