Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Umm Nura asks: Regarding a child swallowing back his vomit onto his mother’s clothes, is it impure? And if she prayed in this garment for several prayers, does she have to repeat them?
Answer:
If by “swallowing back” you mean vomiting and swallowing back, then it is impure. Vomiting and what is swallowed back are impure, whether from a child or from anyone else. It is obligatory to wash the garment or the body of it for prayer. If she was unaware of this or forgot, then her past prayers are valid, but in the future she must be careful to wash this impurity before prayer. Yes.
