The Purity of a Child’s Vomit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a child’s vomit falls on a garment, is it pure or ritually impure?
No.
The correct view is that it is pure; the vomit of a young child on a garment is pure. This is because there is no evidence for its ritual impurity, and the original ruling for things is purity and permissibility until evidence establishes otherwise. Therefore, if a young child vomits on his mother’s garment, she is not required to wash it, but if she washes it, that is better as a precaution.
