			So swimming while fasting is one of the activities people don't like to do especially in Ramadan
when it's hot and it's in the summer. So therefore, they wonder Is it okay? Can I swim? What if
water coming into my mouth and what do I do with this? Does it break my fast and so forth?

water. So therefore, if people want to swim, like in the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he

			our mouth and blow your nose. He said balance which means you know, just excessively clean your
mouth and clean your nose, nostrils, he says unless Allah and takuna Simon unless you're fasting,
which means you need to be careful not to not allow the water to go through and into your throat all
the way down to your stomach. So if this is about what do what about fasting What about swimming
them so when it comes to swimming, if people guarantee that while they swim, they make sure as much

			basically they can swim, but like it will do you take extra precaution. You should define a
charlatan to go with that.
