Answer
In reference to the above question breast milk itself is pure. However, once it is consumed by the infant, reaches the stomach and then vomited then it depends on if the baby vomited a mouthful or not. If it was a mouthful vomit then it is impure.[1] This is due to the milk mixing with the other impure content juices inside the stomach that now renders the babyโs vomit major impurity (najasat ghaleezah). The ruling on major impurity is that if the mouthful of vomit soils the clothes or body equal or more than a dirham [50p or ยฃ2 coin] they then become necessary to wash.[2] If the baby vomited slightly (after reaching its stomach) less than a mouthful then it is overlooked and not deemed impure.[3]
Remember that the above ruling was only if the vomit reaches the babyโs stomach. If the milk came out due to a reflux reaction without reaching the stomach then this will not be classed as impure at all because it has not mixed with the impure content of the stomach.[4] Its smell can be a distinguishing factor in determining whether it is actual vomit or merely spitting the milk back out. The actual vomit displays a thicker texture with an odour smell unlike the milk that is spat out because of a reflux.[5]
[Allฤh Knows Best]
