Vomiting while fasting
Question: If someone vomits involuntarily while fasting, what is the ruling? Must he make up that fast or not?
Answer: If a person vomits involuntarily while fasting, there is no need to make up the fast. However, if someone vomits deliberately, he must make up that fast, because the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever vomits involuntarily, there is no make-up upon him, and whoever vomits deliberately, there is make-up upon him.”
Reference: Abu Dawud, Kitab al-Sawm: Bab al-Sa’im yastaqi ‘amidan 2380
This hadith has been narrated by Imam Ahmad and the authors of the four Sunan, through the route of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), with a sahih chain.
