Is it permissible for a person to vomit in the restroom, where the vomit contains food remnants?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah guide you, O Shaykh. If a person vomits, may Allah honor you, and some distinct food appears in this vomit, is it permissible for him to dispose of it in the restroom, may Allah honor you and the listeners?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes. When vomit comes out of the stomach, it is ritually impure according to many scholars, or the majority of scholars. Therefore, there is no harm in vomiting in the restroom, even if food particles are present, because it is ritually impure according to the opinion of the majority of scholars, and according to the opinion that it is pure, it has no sanctity. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned this in a context of condemnation, saying:
One who gets back his gift is like a dog which vomits and then swallows that vomit. العائد في هبته كالكلب يقيء ثم يعود في قيئه
Sahih Muslim 1622g
He made this an ugly likeness. Yes.
