Does vomiting during a flight invalidate the ablution? And does it affect the purity of the clothes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q10: Does vomiting during a flight invalidate the ablution? And does it affect the purity of the clothes?
A10: Vomiting invalidates the ablution if it is excessive, such that it fills the mouth or more; for what was narrated by Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him)
'Uthaim b. Kulaib reported from his father (Kuthair) on the authority of his grandfather (Kulaib) that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ): I have embraced Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during of unbelief, saying "shave them". He further says that another person (other than the grandfather of 'Uthaim) reported to him that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to another person who accompanied him: Remove from yourself the hair that grew during the period of unbelief and get yourself circumcised.أن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قاء فتوضأ
Sunan Abi Dawud 356Hasan (Al-Albani)
It was narrated by the Imam Ahmad , and by al-Tirmidhi , who said: This is the most authentic thing in this chapter. As for a small amount less than that, it does not invalidate the ablution. Vomit is ritually impure; because it is food that has transformed in the stomach into corruption. If it touches the garment or anything else, it is obligatory to wash it with water, along with rubbing and squeezing, until the substance of the impurity is removed and its parts are gone and the place becomes pure.

Q11: A pilot experiences the release of air from the stomach while in the plane due to the violent movements he performs in the plane. Does that invalidate the ablution?
A11: The release of wind from the rear passage of one who has performed ablution invalidates his ablution by explicit text and scholarly consensus; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the one praying:
He should not return (from prayer) unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell (of passing wind).لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتًا أو يجد ريحًا
Sahih Muslim 361
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari . This means: until he is certain that wind has come out of him, which indicates that it invalidates his ablution. And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
When one of you releases air (through his anus) during Salat (prayer), he should break the Salat (prayer) then perform ablution and repeat the prayer.إذا فسا أحدكم في الصلاة فلينصرف ، وليتوضأ ويعيد الصلاة
Bulugh al-Maram 2:68
. It was narrated by Ahmad , and by the people of the four books of Sunan, and it was authenticated by Ibn Hibban .

Q12: Is it obligatory for me to renew my purity after I land from the plane if I doubt whether my ablution was invalidated or not during my flight?
A12: If a person is certain of his purity and then doubts whether a state of ritual impurity has occurred, his doubt regarding the occurrence of a state of ritual impurity has no effect on the previous purity; because the original state is the continuation of purity, and the subsequent doubt is not considered unless he knows with certainty that his ablution has been invalidated; for what is established in the two Sahihs, from Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim al-Mazini (may Allah be pleased with him), that he complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
A man imagined that he felt something in the prayer, so he said: Do not leave until you hear a sound or smell a windالرجل يخيل إليه أنه يجد الشيء في الصلاة ، فقال : لا ينصرف حتى يسمع صوتًا أو يجد ريحًا
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 10:2364
, and in the Sahih of Muslim , from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said:
If any of you has a pain in his abdomen, but is doubtful whether or not anything has issued from him, he should not leave the mosque unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.إذا وجد أحدكم في بطنه شيئًا فأشكل عليه أخرج منه شيء أم لا ، فلا يخرجن من المسجد حتى يسمع صوتًا أو يجد ريحًا
Mishkat al-Masabih 306
