Swallowing what comes up from the stomach to the mouth for the one who is fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, sometimes while the one who is fasting is praying the Fajr prayer, something comes up from his stomach to his mouth and he swallows it. Does this invalidate his fast?

Answer:
If he swallows it intentionally, his fast is invalidated. But if he swallows it while forgetting, or not knowing, or if he is unable to spit it out, there is no blame on him. For few are free from this thing that is forced upon a person; few are free from it. The issue is only with intention. Yes.
