Making wudhu after eating food cooked on a fire
Q: There is this book called "The Tablespread Of the Holy Prophet" written by Muhammad Faisal
There is a section on cheese. This hadith is a Sahih Muslim Hadith 687, Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallahu anhu).
"Performing ablution in the mosque, he said: I am performing ablution because of having eaten pieces of cheese, for I heard the Messenger of Allah Ta'ala say: Perform ablution (after eating anything) touched by fire."
I would like to know what is meant by "touched by fire" and why should we make wudhu after eating something that is touched by fire?
A: In the beginning, the law of Islam was that if one had consumed anything that was prepared on a fire, then through consuming it, one's wudhu would be regarded as invalid. Later on, this law was abrogated.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
