Two conditions must be met for vomiting to invalidate fasting: First, the vomiting must be intentional. Second, the vomit must fill the mouth. If either of these conditions is missing, the fasting is not invalidated. As narrated by Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him: 'Whoever is overcome by vomiting while fasting does not have to make up for it, but if he induces vomiting, he must make up for it.' (Al-Muntaqa 1: 104, Sahih Ibn Hibban 8: 284, Al-Mustadrak 1: 589, Jami' al-Tirmidhi 3: 98, Sunan Abu Dawood 2: 310, and Sunan Ibn Majah 1: 536). And from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, who used to say: 'Whoever is overcome by vomiting while fasting does not break his fast, but whoever induces vomiting has broken his fast.' (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 2: 297). It follows from this: If one needs to vomit for medical treatment as advised by a doctor, it is permissible. Whoever is compelled to vomit and does so is not sinful, but he is considered to have broken his fast and should refrain from eating for the rest of the day if possible, out of respect for Ramadan, and make up for that day later.
