Pouring water on the head of a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible, if fasting is difficult for her, to pour some water on her head and put some in her mouth?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. A person who is fasting may cool down by bathing or pouring water on his head. The Companions, while fasting during travel, used to pour water on their heads to relieve thirst, so there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
We asked about the fasting person rinsing his mouth, because the mouth is not part of the stomach; the mouth is outside the stomach, on the face, but he must be careful that nothing reaches his throat.
