Effect of food coming back up from the stomach when one is fasting

01-09-2010

Question 129752

I have a problem in my stomach that makes food come back up when I have some liquid in the mouth, and this happened in Ramadan. Do I have to make up that day?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

If something comes back up out of the stomach into the mouth, then the fasting person must spit it out; if he deliberately swallows it, his fast is invalidated, but if he swallows it without meaning to, he does not have to do anything.
