Vomiting Whilst Fasting and Qadha

Question

I have a question regarding the validity of my fast. Two hours after Suhoor, I woke up with terrible nausea and stomachache and after a while, vomited all that I had taken in the past hours. I had read and heard many times that a fast is broken when one vomits so I assumed mine was too and I drank a glass of water to clear away the dizziness. I later found out that my fast was not broken. I want to know if I should make compensation because I didn't know of this.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh.

The vomiting of a fasting person unintentionally does not nullify ones fast. Hence, your fast was not broken.

However, only Qadha will have to be kept of that fast.[1]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
