Question :

Does vomiting during the day in Ramadan break the fast?


The Answer :

Intentional vomiting is one of the nullifiers of fasting; whoever vomits deliberately breaks their fast.


However, if vomiting occurs involuntarily, the fast remains valid as long as nothing returns to the body cavity (jauf). If anything is swallowed back, the fast is invalidated.


The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever is overcome by vomiting does not have to make up the fast, but whoever induces vomiting deliberately must make it up." [Narrated by Abu Dawood and At-Tirmidhi]
