The Evidence for the Impurity of Vomit and Its Effect on Ablution and Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) mention that vomit is ritually impure, and that is due to transformation. Is there any other evidence besides transformation, and what is the correct ruling regarding vomit?
Answer:
It is an analogy with excrement. Excrement, when it was transformed from food, became ritually impure. Both of them come out of the body cavity: excrement and vomit. Both come out of the body cavity and the stomach. So it is a matter of analogy, the analogy with excrement, and that is the correct position. The correct position is that vomit invalidates the ablution. Likewise, if a person intentionally induces vomiting while fasting, his fast is invalidated. But if he did not intend it and the vomit came out without his choice, this does not affect the fast.
