Vomit of a child
Question
Vomit of a child
Answer
If a child vomits mouthful then it is considered as Napaak. The clothing will have to be washed and the impurity removed (if it touches the clothing.). The ruling applicable to an adult’s vomit is applicable to a child’s vomit as well, meaning, just as an adults mouthful vomit is considered as impure, similarly the mouthful vomit of a child is also considered as impure.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
