It is not permissible to perform Salaah in that state.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However, if the total amount of vomit is less than a Dirham*, one is not required to remove the vomit before performing Salaah, although it is preferable to do so. It is permissible to perform Salaah in that state.<\/p>\n<p>* Dirham refers to the Islamic silver coin that was approx. 2.75cm in diameter <strong>(Ahsanul Fataawa Vol. 1 pg. 89). <\/strong>It is equivalent to the size of the old 50 cent coin and is 2mm larger than the current R5 coin (South Africa).<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Vomiting less than a mouthful &#8211;<\/strong> If one has vomited less than a mouthful, the vomit is <strong>not<\/strong> regarded to be <strong>impure.<\/strong> It is permissible for one to perform Salaah in that state, although, it is preferable for one to remove it before performing Salaah.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The above ruling is the same whether the vomit is of milk, food or any other substance.<\/p>\n<p>In determining the size of a mouthful, the size of the adult\u2019s or child\u2019s mouth will be taken into consideration.
