IRSYAD HUKUM KHAS RAMADAN SIRI KE-192: BAGAIMANAKAH PUASA SEKIRANYA SESEORANG ITU HAMPIR MUNTAH DAN RASA LOYA
Does nausea or the feeling of almost vomiting invalidate the fast, especially for pregnant women with morning sickness?
Short answer
Unintentional vomiting does not invalidate the fast, and nausea or the feeling of being about to vomit does not either.

Summary
Unintentional vomiting does not invalidate the fast, and nausea or the feeling of being about to vomit does not either. The fast is invalid if a person deliberately induces nausea until vomiting occurs through their own effort. It is also invalid if something rises from the stomach or inner cavity into the mouth and the residue is deliberately swallowed again.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muntah dengan tidak sengaja tidak membatalkan puasa. Begitu juga loya atau perasaan hampir muntah tidaklah sampai membatalkan puasa melainkan loya tersebut disengajakan sehingga termuntah maka batal puasanya atas ikhtiar dan usahanya sendiri.
