Unintentionally vomiting while fasting
Question
During fasting, I got a severe headache (while traveling) and vomited 3 hours before iftar. I tried to take some pills but didn’t take anything and went to sleep. I woke up about 15 mins after the Maghrib Adhan and did iftar. Is my fast is valid?
Answer
If you did not eat anything, your fast is valid. Unintentional vomiting does not cause the fast to break.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
