Question

Will vomiting invalidate the fast?

Answer

Vomiting unintentionally or intentionally vomiting less than a mouthful will not invalidate the fast. (A mouthful is that which cannot be kept in the mouth but with difficulty). Only vomiting a mouthful or more intentionally or swallowing the vomit intentionally will break the fast.
