Fathwa, - Does drinking camels' milk invalidate Wudhoo’?

Question
Does drinking milk invalidate Wudhoo' (ablution)? It is narrated that
'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar, May Allaah Be Pleased with them, heard the
Messenger of Allaah , saying: "Perform Wudhoo' for eating camel meat
and do notperform Wudhoo' for eating sheep meat; perform Wudhoo' for
drinking camel milk and do not perform Wudhoo' for drinking sheep
milk; Pray in the dwellings of sheep anddo not pray in the resting
places of camels." [Ibn Maajah] What is the degree of authenticity of
this Hadeeth?
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
, is His Slave and Messenger.
The view that drinking camel milk invalidates Wudhoo' is one of the
two narrations of Ahmad in this respect. Nevertheless, the second
narration is adopted since it accords with the opinion of the majority
of scholars.
As for the Hadeeth mentioned in the question, it is ranked as Dha'eef
(weak) by Al-Albaani in his classification of Sunan At-Tirmithi.
Allaah Knows best.
