Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question, Shaykh. I was fasting the six days of Shawwal. I fasted yesterday, but I felt nauseous and vomited. Is my fast valid, or have I broken it?

The Shaykh : Intentionally, or unintentionally?

The questioner : Unintentionally.

The Shaykh : Meaning, the vomiting overcame you.

The questioner : It overcame me.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : The vomiting overcame me.

The Shaykh : If it overcame you.

The questioner : Excuse me.

The Shaykh : If vomiting overcomes the fasting person and he vomits, his fast is not invalidated, whether in Ramadan or in other fasts.

The questioner : May Allah benefit you, and...

The Shaykh : Based on the saying of the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever vomits intentionally, let him make up the fast, but if he was overcome by vomiting, there is no making up for him."صلى الله عليه وسلم من استقاء عمدا فليقض ومن ذرعه القي فلا قضاء عليه،


The questioner : Thank you, O Shaykh.
