Summary
Vomiting does not invalidate wudhu according to the Shafi'i school and many other scholars, as there is no authentic evidence to the contrary. The view of Imam Ahmad and Imam Abu Hanifah that it does invalidate wudhu rests on hadiths that Sheikh Ahmad Syakir judged to be weak. It is nevertheless recommended to renew wudhu after vomiting, based on reports from the Companions, as stated by Ibn Taimiyyah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tuntasnya, kami nyatakan bahawa muntah tidak membatalkan wudhu, sebagaimana yang tsabit dalam mazhab Syafi'e dan sekian ramai ulama yang lain.
