Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

A Muslim, male or female, is permitted to eat and drink after performing Wudhoo’, and this does not invalidate Wudhoo’ unless one eats camel meat. It is narrated that a man asked the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, "Am I required to perform Wudhoo’ after eating camel meat?" The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, replied: "Yes. Perform Wudhoo’ after eating camel meat…." [Muslim]

This is the opinion of Ahmad, Is-haaq ibn Raahawayh, Yahya ibn Yahya and others . The aforesaid Hadeeth stands as evidence that supports this opinion.

Allaah Knows best.
