Explanation

This Hadīth illustrates forbiddance of riding a camel or any other animal that feeds on dung, dirt, and filth or drinking its milk. The reason is that the flesh and milk of such animals is nurtured with filth, so they are not pure. However, if they are given fodder for three or more days, their meat and milk become lawful for consumption.
