Vomiting during the day in Ramadan

A question about vomiting during the day in Ramadan, in which Jordan's General Iftaa Department answered that deliberate vomiting breaks the fast, while someone overcome by vomiting does not break it unless some of it returns to the interior. ¹

The questioner asked whether vomiting during the day in Ramadan breaks the fast. ¹

The Department answered that deliberately making oneself vomit is among the things that break the fast, so whoever vomits on purpose has broken it. ¹ It said that someone overcome by vomiting has not broken the fast if none of it returns to the interior; otherwise he has. ¹ It relied on a hadith reported by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi that distinguishes the person overcome by vomiting, who owes no make-up day, from the one who vomits deliberately, who must make the day up. ¹

Jordan's General Iftaa Department published this fatwa on aliftaa.jo as no. 4140, dated 1 February 2026. ¹ The museum records this text as a historical document attributed to the body or scholar that issued it; it issues no ruling of its own.
