وَعَن جَابر بن سَمُرَة أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَتَوَضَّأْ» . قَالَ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ فَتَوَضَّأْ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ» قَالَ: أُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» قَالَ: أُصَلِّي فِي مبارك الْإِبِل؟ قَالَ: «لَا» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jābir ibn Samura reported that a man asked the Messenger of God: ‘Should we perform ablution after eating sheep meat?’ He replied: ‘If you wish, perform ablution; if you wish, do not.’ The man asked: ‘Should we perform ablution after eating camel meat?’ He replied: ‘Yes, perform ablution after eating camel meat.’ The man asked: ‘May I pray in sheep enclosures?’ He replied: ‘Yes.’ He asked: ‘May I pray where camels kneel?’ He replied: ‘No.’ Muslim transmitted it.
