Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on diving in the sea during the daytime of Ramadan for work? Knowing that he sometimes drinks a little water. As for diving in water, whether in the sea or otherwise.
Answer:
For the one who is fasting, there is no harm in him diving in the water and cooling off in the water; there is no obstacle. However, he must be careful to prevent water from entering his stomach, because he is fasting. If he intentionally drank something of the water, his fast is invalidated. But if some water went in without his intention, without him intending it, then it does not harm his fast. However, if he intentionally drank something of the water, then his fast is invalidated.
