    If I eat prior to Fajr, such that by the time Fajr starts there is food in my mouth, am I allowed to swallow it or do I spit it out? Also, what about the food that is caught in my throat that I am unable to spit out without possibly causing myself to vomit, what do I do?

    If I want to enter into a temporary marriage with a Muslim woman who does not really practise Islam, can I do so?

    It is permissible to conduct temporary marriage with a Muslim woman if she understands the relationship as marriage.

If she was virgin then marrying her without the permission of the guardian is permissible but consummating the marriage is not.
