Question

  What do Islamic scholars say about the following issue? A few minutes after the ending of the Sahari time, if someone belches, causing him to feel water in the throat and the water goes down the throat either; will the Sawm(fast) become invalid in this case?

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  If someone belches, causing the water to come to the throat and to go down again, his Sawm(fast) will not become invalid as if someone vomits food, etc. in less than the “mouthful” quantity and the food, etc. goes down the throat again, his Sawm will not become invalid.(Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 3, pp. 450; Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 10, pp. 486; Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 988)

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
