Question
Does the gastric reflux (heartburn) – where a little bit of food or drink comes back up but does not fill the mouth or only reaches the back of the throat – break one’s wudu?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
This does not break wudu at all.
