The Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramadhan

The Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramadhān

By Banu Saleh

In the Name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

All perfect praise be to Allāh, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and that Muhammad is His Messenger.

Rasūlullāh (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadhān with faith and hoping for reward, he will be forgiven for all of his previous sins. Whoever stands (for prayer at night) during Ramadhān with faith and hoping for reward, he will be forgiven for all of his previous sins. Whoever stands (for prayer at night) during Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree) with faith and hoping for reward, he will be forgiven for all of his previous sins.”  [Al-Bukhari no. 2014 and Muslim no. 759-760]

Strive hard in Worship.  

In a hadith from ‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) who said, “When the last ten days (of Ramadhān) began, the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam), would tie his lower garment (izār) tight, stay up at night, and wake his family (to offer acts of worship).” [Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

Muslim recorded a sahih hadith with wording from 'Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) who said: “The Messenger of Allāh (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam), would strive hard in worship in the last ten nights (of Ramadhān) in a way that he would not do at other times.” [Muslim]

In another narration ‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) said, “When the last ten days of Ramadhān arrived, the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) would stay up at night, wake his family and girded his loins.”  [Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

The wording of ‘Aishah(radiallāhu`anha), “When the last ten days would begin, he would tie his lower garment (izār) tight”  indicates that Rasūlullāh (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) would be paying much heed to those days and striving hard to offer acts of worship during those days.

I’tikaf and seeking Lailatul al-Qadar

The Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) would be secluding himself in I’tikaf and seeking Lailatul al-Qadar during this period. ‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) said, “The Prophet, sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would observe I'tikāf during the last ten days of Ramadhān until Allāh  took his soul, then his wives observed I’tikāf after he was gone.” [Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]

Scholars hold the interpretation of 'Aishah’s (radiallāhu`anha) phrase “girded his loins” and ‘tying the lower garment (Izaar) tight’ is a metaphor for his preparing himself to worship and strive hard in worship, more than usual. It has the meaning of “rolling up one's sleeves” to worship (i.e. getting ready to make a great deal of effort). It was also said that it was a metaphor for keeping away from women and abstaining from sexual relations.

Qiyamulail

The phrase “stay up at night” means that he would stay awake, spending the night in prayer, etc.

The words “stay up at night” may mean that he spent most of the night in worship, or that he did not stay up for the entire night, but he did that at the times of ‘Isya’ and Sahur, and other times, in which case it would mean that he stayed up for most of the night.

The phrase “and wake his family” means that he would wake his wives for Qiyamulail. It is known that The Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to wake his wives all year round, but he used to wake them to spend part of the night in qiyam.

The Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) woke up one night and said: “Subhan Allah! What tribulations have come down tonight! What treasure has come down tonight! Who will wake up the dwellers of the apartments? There may be women who are clothed in this world and naked in the Hereafter.” [Al-Bukhari]

It was narrated that the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used to wake ‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) when he wanted to pray Witir. [Al-Bukhāri]

Waking one's family to perform Solāh Tahajjud (voluntary night-prayers) is a recommended act and is even more so in the last ten days of Ramadhān for the great virtue of such nights. It is a great opportunity that every Muslim and his family should make the best of and not miss. The last ten days are the conclusion of this blessed month and what counts in deeds are how they end: It was narrated that the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam), said: “Indeed, what counts in deeds are their ends.”

But when he woke his wives during the last ten nights of Ramadhān, this was more persistent than at other times of the year. The fact that The Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) did this indicates the importance he attached to worshipping his Rabb and making the most of this special time.

These are the exemplary of the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) to the ummah that we should strive hard in worshipping Allah Subhānahu wa ta’ala. We should not waste the hours of these days and nights. For we do not know, perhaps this time will never come again, for the spoiler of pleasures, i.e., death, which must come to all men, may come and snatch him and his life will end; then he will feel regret at the time when regret will be of no avail.

Performs all different acts of worship

The striving hard in these ten days should not be in a specific kind of worship, rather it should be in all different acts of worship such as praying, giving charity, reciting the Qurān, mentioning Allāh and the like.

Reciting the Qurān

‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) also said: “I never saw the Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam) recite the entire Qur’ān in one night, or spend a whole night in prayer until the morning, or fast an entire month, except in Ramadhān.” [An-Nasā’ie]

Scholars have mentioned that the last ten days of Ramadhān are better than the first ten days of Dzul-Hijjah. They are the best days of the year as a whole and they include the Night of Al-Qadr, which Allāh has made better than a thousand months. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (radiallāhu`anhu) that the Messenger (Sallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever stands (in qiyam) in Lailatul-Qadar [and it is facilitated for him] out of faith and expectation (of Allah’s reward), will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” [Al-Bukhāri, Muslim and Ahmad]

The hadith recorded by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim with phrase "and it is facilitated for him" is recorded by Ahmad from the report of ‘Ubadah Ibn As-Samit; it means that he is permitted to be among the sincere worshippers during that blessed night.

‘Aishah (radiallāhu`anha) reported, who said, "O Messenger of Allāh, if I witness the Night of Al-Qadar, what should I say?'' The Prophet (Sallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam), replied: “Say: “Allāhumma innaka ’afuw wun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ’anna” (O Allah! You are forgiving, and you love forgiveness. So forgive us) [Recorded by Ahmad, Ibn Mājah, and At-Tirmidzi; verified to be authentic by Al-Albāni]

Repentance and purifying.

Scholars recommended in such nights in which the Night of Al-Qadr is more likely to be, to take a bath, putting on nice fragrance and wear clean, appropriate clothes as prescribed in the Friday and ‘Eid prayers, and it is in fact prescribed to wear one’s finest clothes when performing every prayer. This is because Allāh says:”Take your adornment at every mosque.” [Al-A’raf, 7: 31] Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (radiallāhu`anhu) said, “Allāh has more of a right over you to be adorned for Him.”

As a matter of fact, outward adornment will never be complete except by adorning the inside as well by turning to Allāh the Almighty in repentance and purifying one’s soul from the filth of sins as the adornment of the external part of the person while the filth of sins exists within will be to no avail.

Allāh Says: “O children of Ādam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness – that is best.” [Al-A’raf, 7: 26]

No one will be successful in imploring the King in seclusion unless he is him who has adorned and purified his outward appearance as well as his inward reality, for Allāh the Almighty knows what is secret and that which is even more hidden than that. Allāh the Almighty does not look at your outward appearance; rather, Allāh looks at your hearts and deeds. So whoever stands before Him should adorn his outward appearance by wearing the appropriate clothing and his inward reality by wearing the clothing of righteousness.

Wallahu’alam.

Adab Puasa Dan Tarawih

Adab Puasa Dan Tarawih

Nazmi Aidarus

Dengan  Nama Allāh, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani;
Segala Pujian dan  Kesyukuran hanya kepada Allāh; Selawat dan Salam keatas Muhammad Rasullullah.

SETIAP orang yang mengerjakan puasa perlu mematuhi beberapa peraturan dan adab yang akan menyempurnakan ibadah tersebut. Di antara peraturan yang terpenting ialah:

1· Menjaga lidah daripada berdusta, mengumpat dan mencampuri urusan orang lain yang tiada kena mengena dengannya.

2· Memelihara mata dan telinga daripada melihat dan mendengar perkara yang dilarang oleh Syarak dan perkara yang sia-sia.

3· Mengawal perut daripada mengambil makanan dan minuman yang haram atau mengandungi unsur syubhat, terutama ketika berbuka dan berusaha sedaya upaya mungkin untuk menghasilkan pemakanan yang halal lagi bersih.

Para ulama Salaf pernah berpesan: “Apabila kamu berpuasa, maka perhatikanlah apa yang akan dijadikan makanan berbukamu dan di manakah kamu akan berbuka?” Ia adalah panduan yang terbaik bagi mengawasi diri daripada terjebak dengan unsur-unsur makanan yang tidak halal.

4· Berusaha menjaga kesemua pancaindera dan anggota tubuh badan daripada mendekati atau melakukan maksiat dan perkara sia-sia. Dengan demikian ibadah puasanya akan suci dan sempurna.

Terdapat ramai yang memenatkan diri dengan berlapar dan berdahaga, membiarkan diri terdorong kepada perlakuan dosa dan noda, kerana itu puasanya rosak dan binasa dan keletihannya tidaklah berbaloi.

Rasulullah  (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) bersabda: Ramai yang berpuasa tidak mendapat ganjaran daripada puasanya melainkan lapar dan dahaga! (An-Nasai)

5· Meninggalkan maksiat menjadi kewajipan kepada seluruh orang Islam sama ada mereka sedang puasa atau tidak, apatah lagi bagi yang berpuasa, ia lebih dituntut dan diwajibkan.

Sabda Rasulullah (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam): “Puasa itu adalah ‘perisai’, Sekiranya seseorang dari kalangan kamu sedang berpuasa janganlah dia bercakap kotor, melakukan keburukan dan berbuat bodoh. Jika ada orang lain yang mengejinya atau cuba memeranginya, maka hendaklah dia katakan kepada orang itu: ‘Saya sedang berpuasa!.” (Bukhari dan Muslim)

6· Janganlah membanyakkan tidur pada siang harinya dan makan pada malamnya, bahkan bersederhanalah pada kedua-duanya bagi menyelami keperitan lapar dan dahaga. Dengan demikian sanubarinya akan terkawal, keinginan nafsunya akan berkurangan, hatinya ceria. Itulah rahsia dan intipati puasa yang perlu dicapai.

7· Jauhkan diri daripada mengikut dorongan nafsu ketika berbuka dengan beraneka jenis makanan yang lazat-lazat. Sebaik-baiknya adat makan adalah sama sahaja pada bulan puasa dan bulan-bulan yang lain.

Penggembelingan diri di dalam mengurangkan tuntutan jasmani dan keinginan perasaan, memberikan kesan positif terhadap kecerahan hati nurani yang amat dituntut, terutama pada bulan Ramadhan.

Mereka yang menjadikan keinginan nafsu perut sebagai tunggangan akal mereka ketika berbuka yang menyalahi kebiasaan pada bulan-bulan lain, sebenarnya terpedaya dengan pujukan iblis dan rayuannya yang bertujuan menghilangkan barakah (berkat) ibadah puasa mereka, nikmat limpahan ketenangan daripada Allah SWT, kekhusyukan diri ketika munajat dan berzikir kepada-Nya.

Sepatutnya orang yang berpuasa mengurangkan kadar pemakanannya sehingga terserlah kesan puasa itu pada dirinya. Kekenyangan adalah punca kelalaian, kealpaan, keras hati dan malas melakukan ketaatan kepada Allah SWT.

Sabda Rasulullah  (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam): “Takungan jelik yang dipenuhkan oleh manusia adalah perutnya, memadailah baginya beberapa suapan yang dapat meneguhkan tulang belakangnya. Jika dia enggan, maka berikanlah sepertiga (bahagian perutnya) untuk makanan, sepertiga kedua untuk minuman dan sepertiga terakhir bagi pernafasannya” (Ahmad dan Tirmizi).

Terdapat ulama yang mengungkapkan kata-kata berikut: “Sekiranya perutmu kenyang, anggota-anggota lain akan lapar (akan menurut turutan nafsu), tetapi sekiranya perutmu lapar kesemua anggotamu akan kenyang.”

As-Salaf as-Soleh (mereka yang terdahulu) mengurangkan perkara kebiasaan dan dorongan diri serta memperbanyakkan amal ibadat pada bulan Ramadan secara khusus, bahkan itulah adat mereka sepanjang masa.

8· Tidak menyibukkan diri dengan urusan duniawi pada bulan Ramadhan ini, bahkan mengambil kesempatan yang ada untuk beribadat kepada Allah dan mengingati-Nya sebaik mungkin. Justeru itu dia tidak melakukan perkara duniawi melainkan sekadar keperluan hariannya atau kepada mereka yang berada di bawah tanggungannya.

Demikian yang selayaknya dilakukan pada bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini, sama seperti pada hari Jumaat yang sepatutnya dikhususkan bagi amalan akhiratnya.

9· Mempraktikkan amalan sunah seperti segera berbuka apabila masuk waktunya, berbuka dengan buah tamar (kurma) dan jika ia tiada memadailah dengan segelas air serta melambatkan makan sahur.

Nabi (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam) berbuka dahulu sebelum Baginda mengerjakan solat Maghrib.

Sabdanya: “Umatku sentiasa berada di dalam keadaan baik (berkat) selama mana mereka mempercepatkan berbuka (apabila masuk waktunya) dan melambatkan makan sahur.” ( Ahmad, Bukhari dan Muslim).

11· Menyediakan makanan berbuka kepada orang yang berpuasa sekalipun dengan beberapa biji tamar atau segelas air.

Sabda Baginda (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam): “Sesiapa yang menyediakan makanan berbuka bagi orang yang berpuasa, baginya ganjaran seumpama pahala bagi orang yang berpuasa, tanpa mengurangi sedikitpun pahalanya (orang yang berpuasa).” ( Baihaqi dan ibnu Khuzaimah).

12· Memenuhi malamnya dengan amalan sunat seperti solat tarawih, witir dan sebagainya.

Adalah dinasihatkan kepada para imam supaya tidak mempercepatkan solat tarawihnya seperti mana amalan kebiasaan sebahagian besar mereka di masjid dan surau.

Perbuatan tersebut menjejaskan mutu ibadah solat tarawih mereka kerana meninggalkan rukun solat tersebut seperti, meninggalkan tumakninah semasa rukuk dan sujud, mencacatkan bacaan al-Fatihah sebagaimana sepatutnya lantaran ingin cepat dalam mengejar waktu sehingga meninggalkan makmum di belakang tertinggal rukun-rukun penting dalam solatnya.

Amalan tarawih seperti itu menjadi tidak sempurna dan berkurangan pahalanya kerana itu berwaspadalah terhadap cara demikian dengan kembali mengamalkan ibadah solat seperti pada waktu-waktu lain, menyempurnakan qiam, bacaan al-Fatihah, rukuk, sujud, khusyuk, hadir hati dan semua adab solat dan rukunnya.

Bagi makmum pula disyorkan supaya sentiasa bersama imamnya dalam mengerjakan solat tarawih itu sehinggalah selesai sama ada sebanyak 20 raka’at atau pun 8 raka’at.

Sabda Rasulullah  (sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam): “Apabila seseorang menunaikan solat [tarawih] bersama imamnya sehinggalah imam itu (selesai dan) beredar, dikirakan untuknya (makmum) pahala qiam semalaman. (An-Nasai).

The Etiquettes of Fasting

Taking Sahur (The Pre-Dawn Meal).

It is recommended to have a pre-dawn meal and there is no sin upon one who does not do so.

Anas RA reported that the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "Have a pre-dawn meal, for there are blessings in it." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

The reason is that it strengthens the fasting person, makes him more energetic, and makes fasting easier for him.

Taking Minimum Amount In The Pre-Dawn Meal.

Having a small or large quantity of food or even by drinking just a sip of water suffices the person and he is considered to have adhered to the Prophetic recommendation.

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri reported that the Prophet SAW said: "The pre-dawn meal is blessed, so do not neglect it even if you only take a sip of water. Verily, Allah and the angels pray for those who have the pre-dawn meals." [Ahmad]

The Time For The Pre-Dawn Meal.

The time for the pre-dawn meal is between the middle of the night and dawn. It is considered best to delay it (that is, as close to dawn as possible).

Zaid Ibn Thabit reported: "We have the pre-dawn meal with the Messenger of Allah SAW and then we got up for the prayer. He was asked: 'What was the amount of time between the two?' He responded: 'The time it would take to recite fifty verses.'" [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Doubt Concerning The Time Of Fajar (Dawn).

If one is in doubt whether or not the time of Fajar has begun, he may continue to eat and drink until he is certain that it is Fajar. He should not base his action on doubt or suspicion. Allah has made the signs for beginning the fast very clear and unambiguous.

Allah Says: "…Eat and drink until the white thread of the dawn becomes distinct from the black thread [of the night]..." [Quran 2:187]

A man said to Ibn ‘Abbas: "I eat until I suspect that its time (i.e. Sahur) has ended so I stop.” Ibn ‘Abbas observed: "Continue to eat until you are certain about the time."

Abu Dawud reported that Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said: "If you are not sure whether or not it is time for Fajar, then eat until you are sure dawn has come."

Prompt In Breaking The Fast.

It is preferred for the fasting person to be prompt in breaking the fast when the sun has set.

Sahal Ibn Sa’ad reported that the Prophet SAW said: "People will continue to be upon virtue so long as they hasten in breaking the fast." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

It is recommended to break the fast by eating an odd number of dates or, if that is not available, then by drinking some water.

Anas RA reported: "The Messenger of Allah SAW would break his fast with ripe dates before he would pray. If those were not available, he would eat dried dates. If those were not available, he would drink some water." [Abu Dawud, Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidzi]

Suleiman Ibn ‘Amr reported that the Prophet SAW said: "If one of you is fasting, let him break his fast with dates. If dates are not available, then with water, for water is purifying." [Ahmad and At-Tirmidzi]

The preceding narration also shows that it is preferred to break the fast in the above manner before praying. After the prayer, the person may continue to eat, but if the evening meal is ready, one may begin with that.

Anas RA reported that the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "If the food is already presented, eat before praying the sunset prayer and do not eat your meals in time." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Supplications While Breaking The Fast And While Fasting.

It is confirmed that the Prophet SAW would say upon breaking his fast: "The thirst has gone, the glands are wet and, Allah willing, the reward is confirmed." [Abu Dawud]

The Prophet SAW also said: "Three people will not have their supplications rejected: a fasting person until he breaks his fast, a just ruler, and an oppressed person." [At-Tirmidzi]

Refraining From Performing Any Actions That Do Not Befit Fasting.

Fasting is an act of worship that draws one closer to Allah. Allah has prescribed it to purify the soul and to train it in good deeds. The fasting person must be on guard against any act that may cause him to lose the benefits of his fast. Thus, his fast will increase his Allah-consciousness, as Allah Says :

"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may attain God-consciousness[taqwa]." [Quran 2:183]

This entails that fasting is not just refraining from eating and drinking, but it is also refraining from everything else that Allah has forbidden.

Abu Hurairah RA reported that the Prophet SAW said: "Fasting is not abstaining from eating and drinking only, but also from vain speech and foul language. If one of you is being cursed or annoyed, he should say: "I am fasting, I am fasting." [Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim]

To stress the importance of having one’s fast reflecting on his actions, the Prophet SAW said:

"Allah does not need the fast of one who does not abandon false speech or acting according to his false speech." [Al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah RA narrated that the Prophet SAW said: "Perhaps a fasting person will get nothing from his fast save hunger, and perhaps the one who stands to pray at night will get nothing from his standing except sleeplessness." [An-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and Al-Hakim]

Using Miswak (A Tooth Stick) Or A Brush.

It is preferred for the fasting person to use a tooth stick or a brush. There is no difference if he uses it at the beginning or the ending of the day. It is confirmed that the Prophet SAW used tooth stick [Miswak] while fasting.

Being Generous And Studying The Quran.

Being generous and studying the Quran is recommended during any time, but it is especially stressed during the month of Ramadhan.

Ibn ‘Abbas RA said: "The Prophet SAW was the most generous of people, but he would be most generous during Ramadhan when he would meet with Jibril [the angel Gabriel]. He would meet with him every night and recite the Quran. When Jibril met him, he would be faster in spending charity than a fast wind."[Al-Bukhari]

Striving To Perform As Many Acts Of Worship As Possible During The Last Ten Days Of Ramadhan.

'Aishah Ra said that during the last ten days of Ramadhan, the Messenger of Allah SAW would awaken his wives during the night and then remain apart from them (refrain from sexual relations with his wives and concentrate on worship). [Al-Bukhari]

"The Prophet SAW would strive [to do acts of worship] during the last ten days of Ramadhan more than he would at any other time." [Muslim]

Making Up Missing Days of Fasting

Situation That Exempted A Person From Fasting.

It is from the mercy of Allah and the lenience of the religion that we are allowed to break the fast if there is any danger, hardship or difficulty in it.

Allah Says: "...He (Allah SWT) has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty..." [Quran 22:7.8]

It is allowed for those who are (not chronically) ill and for travelers to break their fasts during Ramadhan, but they must make up the days they missed.

Allah Says: "[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them]-then an equal number of days [are to be made up]..." [Quran 2:184]

If fasting during travelling could be done , then it is better to fast. If fasting would be difficult then breaking the fast is better.

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri said: "we used to travel for war expeditions with the Messenger of Allah during Ramadhan. Some of us would fast and some of us would not fast, and the fasting person would not find fault with the one who was not fasting, and the person who was not fasting would not find fault with the person who was fasting. Then they thought that the person who had the strength would fast and that was better. And they thought that the person who felt weak would not fast and that was better." [Muslim]

If the person is ill during Ramadhan, and is able to fast without difficulty, then he fasts. If he is unable then he breaks his fast.

If the ill person expects to recuperate from his illness, he waits until he recuperates and then he makes up for whatever days he did not fast. However, if he is not expected to recover, he breaks his fast and gives charity for each day that he does not fast.

Allah Says: "...And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship]-a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]... “[Quran 2:184]

As for the elderly person who has reached an old age, at which he doesn't have the strength to fast, he may break the fast and give charity for every day that he did not fast.

Ibn ‘Abbas said: "It was permitted for the very elderly man (or woman) to feed a poor person for every day (that he did not fast), and he did not have to make up for the days." [Ad-Daraqutni and Al-Hakim]

Breaking The Fast Without A Legitimate Excuse

Regarding the one who intentionally breaks the fast by having sexual intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadhan, then he has committed a great sin and violated the sacredness of this month, and must make up the fast for that day. In addition, he is required to free a slave if it is possible to do so, if not, he has to fast two consecutive months and if he is unable to do so, then to he has feed sixty poor and needy people. The same is required of the wife as is required of her husband, if she freely consented (to having sexual intercourse). However, if she was forced, then nothing is required of her according to the predominant opinion of the scholars.

If one intentionally breaks his fast by eating or drinking without a legitimate excuse, then again he has committed a great sin and violated the sacredness of this month. Such a person has a severe threat awaiting him.

Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever breaks fasting of Ramadhan without having a legitimate excuse or being ill, he cannot make up for that day, even if he undertakes a perpetual fast.” [Al-Bukhari]

Imams Ahmad, Ash-Shafi’e, Sa’id Ibn Al-Musaiyib and Al-Shabby and others declared that one should sincerely repent and seek the forgiveness of Almighty Allah and make up the day later.
On the other hand, a group of Muslim scholars believe that expiation is required for breaking the fast of any day of Ramadhan without a legal reason. They say, one should fast for two months consecutively or feed sixty poor people as well as to make up the day later with any of both forms of expiation.

Vomiting, if done deliberately, invalidates the fast, and necessitates making up for the fast. However, If vomit overcomes one and exits without one’s choosing, the fast is not nullified.
