IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-222: DAGING UNTA MEMBATALKAN WUDHUK
Does eating camel meat invalidate wudhu?
Short answer
Scholars differ on this matter. The majority, including the Hanafi and Maliki schools and the sound view in the Shafie school, hold that eating camel meat does not invalidate wudhu, while the Hanbali school and the older Shafie view require renewing it.

Summary
Scholars differ on this matter. The majority, including the Hanafi and Maliki schools and the sound view in the Shafie school, hold that eating camel meat does not invalidate wudhu, while the Hanbali school and the older Shafie view require renewing it. This ruling favours the majority opinion, but performing wudhu after eating camel meat is better as a precaution and to avoid the disagreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
