Ramaḍān and Fasting
Does Vomiting or Fainting Break the Fast?
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that neither fainting nor vomiting invalidates the fast. He notes that the hadith stating involuntary vomiting does not require making up the fast is weak, and therefore should not be relied upon.
Questioner:
What is the ruling on fainting and vomiting [whilst fasting]?
Shaykh Muqbil bin Hādī al-Wādiʿī
With regards to fainting and vomiting, they do not break the fast. As for the ḥadīth “The one who cannot help vomiting does not have to make up the fast, but the one who vomits deliberately has to make it up” this is weak.
