Prayer TimesVomit that comes from a person's stomach and fills the mouth is considered impure. This includes baby vomit as well. If a baby vomits immediately after breastfeeding and the milk comes back out as it was, this vomit is also regarded as impure according to the Hanafi school. Since vomit is classified as major impurity (necaset-i ğalîza), if it gets on clothing in solid form and exceeds the weight of one dirham (approximately 3 grams), it prevents the validity of prayer. If it is in liquid form and covers an area equal to or greater than the palm of the hand, it also prevents prayer. Vomit less than these amounts is excused and does not prevent prayer. However, since it is in keeping with the spirit of prayer to clean any impurity, whether small or large, from one's body, clothes, or the place of prayer, it is disliked (makruh) to pray with even a small amount of impurity if it is possible to clean it. (Ibn al-Humam, Fath al-Qadir, 1/202-205; Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, 1/306, 318-321)
