what comes out. As for us, we rely on what was narrated by Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever is overcome by vomiting has no need to make up the day, and whoever induces vomiting intentionally (4) must make it up." Al-Tirmidhi said: This is a hasan gharib (good but singular) hadith. It was also recorded by Abu Dawud (5). Their hadith is not mahfuz (well-preserved/reliable); it is narrated by ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam, who is weak in hadith, as stated by al-Tirmidhi. The reasoning they mentioned is invalidated by menstruation and seminal fluid.

The second narration is: It does not invalidate the fast unless it fills the mouth, because it was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "But a retching that fills the mouth" (6). Also, a small amount does not invalidate wudu (ablution), so it does not invalidate the fast, just like phlegm. The third narration is: Half of the mouth, because it invalidates wudu, so it invalidates the fast, like a large amount. The first [view] is better due to the apparent meaning of the hadith we narrated, and because for all other invalidators, there is no difference between a little and a lot. The hadith of the second narration has no basis that we know of. There is no difference whether the vomit is food, bitter bile (7), phlegm, blood, or otherwise, because all of them fall under the generality of the hadith and the [legal] reasoning. And Allah the Almighty knows best what is correct.

We know of no disagreement among the scholars that whoever apostatizes from Islam during the fast, his fast is
