Answer:
Does vomit break fast
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
There are five things
which will break or invalidate the fast:
- Eating
- Drinking
- Sexual intercourse
- voluntary semen discharge
- the menstruation of the woman while fasting
Al-Muwatta Hadith
18.47
Yahya related to me
from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "If some one
makes himself vomit while he is fasting he has to make up a day, but if he
cannot help vomiting he does not have to make up anything."
Involuntary vomiting does not
break or invalidate the fast; but in the opinion of the noble companion of the
Prophet (saws), Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar (r.a.), if a fasting person vomits
voluntarily, then his fast would be invalid and he has to make up the fast at a
later date.
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows
Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
