Does Throwing Up Break Your Fast?

In this Article We will learn about Does Throwing Up Break Your Fast? Abu Hurayrah (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever has a sudden attack of vomiting does not need to make up the fast but whoever vomits deliberately must make it up.”

Vomiting is to vacate the stomach by way of the mouth. And if this occurs without one’s own choice so that he is overtaken by it, then it does not harm his fast. However, if he causes himself to vomit by inserting something into the back of his throat such as his finger, then his fast is broken.

Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer states: If you throw up without any voluntary action on your part and against your own will, your fasting is not at all affected.

Deliberately vomiting breaks the fasting period for all four schools of jurisprudence yet requires compensation at a later time.

All believers must avoid such activities because breaking an obligatory fast in Ramadan is a major wrongdoing in Islamic teachings.

It has been reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Whoever breaks a single day of fast during The Holy Ramadan, without valid reason or sickness, vomiting, Travelling he cannot hope to make up for the same by fasting a whole year .”

The extremely high value of the rewards which were stripped from him because of breaking his fast exceeds any possibility of compensation through alternative means.

The above statement of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), It is wrong to interpret this verse as excusing fasting because of the need for compensation. The obligation to make up this fast becomes absolute because he must observe it through later fasting sessions.

Therefore, no adult Muslim, male or female, ought to contemplate breaking a fast in The Holy Month of Ramadan without valid reasons or sickness or Travelling.

In conclusion: Does Throwing Up Break Your Fast? The Islamic Faith does not consider involuntary throwing up in any form as a cause for breaking a fast.
