Question:
Does vomiting invalidate a fast?
Answer:
Vomiting invalidates a fast in only two situations: (1) A mouthful of
vomit comes up on its own, and the person intentionally swallows it
while remembering that he is fasting. (2) A person wittingly vomits a
mouthful. Apart from these two, vomiting does not invalidate a fast.
If a mouthful of vomit or water comes up involuntarily, the fast does
not break. If the person intentionally swallows it, his fast will break. It
will also break if he vomits a mouthful intentionally.1
Allah ta‛ala knows best.
