What is the ruling on one who vomits intentionally in Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In Ramadan, I mean, I induced vomiting for three days in Ramadan. I was pregnant, and my condition was, as you might say, like in the first months, I think I was feeling unwell. When I rested, I felt better for three days. I mean, in Ramadan I induced vomiting, so I don't know if I have to make up these three days. I remained fasting and did not break my fast. Do I have to make them up, or how?

The Shaykh : You induced vomiting. After you induced vomiting, did you eat?

The questioner : No, I did not eat. So you are fasting.

The Shaykh : Good. This is a second question.

The questioner : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Did you induce vomiting by your own choice, or against your will?

The questioner : It just kept happening to me, happening to me. When I induced vomiting, I felt relieved because my condition was early pregnancy.

The Shaykh : You did not answer me. May Allah guide you. I am asking you: did you induce vomiting by your own choice or against your will?

The questioner : By my own choice.

The Shaykh : For example, did you put your finger in your throat? Yes. You must make up the fast.

The questioner : You must make them up.
