Does acid reflux invalidate fasting?

Acid reflux does not break the fast. It is like vomiting which is not self-induced. Since you have no control over acid reflex, it does not break your fast.

 

However, if anything comes to your mouth, then you should spit it out.

 

Allah says, โ€œ Allah does not burden anyone what he or she has no strength to bear.โ€ (Al-Baqarah 2:286)

 

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, โ€œAllah excuses my Ummah of actions done out of unwilful mistakes, omissions out of forgetfulness, and that which they do under compulsion, and thus have no control over them.โ€ (Ibn Hibban)

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
