The slave woman of Ibrahim bin Abdur Rahman asked Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): "My garment hangs low and long, and sometimes I happen to walk in an impure place." So Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What comes after it purifies it."

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I saw Rabiah bin Abi Abdur Rahman, several times he vomited water and he was in the mosque, then he did not perform ablution and offered prayer.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If someone vomits food, is ablution obligatory upon him? He said: Ablution is not obligatory upon him, rather he should rinse his mouth and wash his face.

It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) applied perfume to the child of Sayyiduna Saeed bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), who was deceased, and lifted him, then came to the mosque and offered prayer and did not perform ablution.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked whether ablution is required after vomiting or not. He said: Ablution is not required, but he should rinse his mouth and wash his face.
