Does vomiting intentionally due to shortness of breath because of phlegm break the fast?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If a fasting person needs to vomit and does so, their fast is invalidated and they must make up for it. This is because they are considered to have broken their fast due to a legitimate excuse that permits them to eat and drink for the rest of the day. However, if they vomit intentionally without an excuse, it is forbidden and invalidates their fast.
