No, during Ramadan, Muslims who are observing the fast (sawm) cannot drink water from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib). Fasting means abstaining from food, drinks (including water), smoking, and marital relations during daylight hours.
However, there are exceptions for certain groups, including:
- Children
- The elderly
- Sick individuals or those with medical conditions
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, if fasting poses a risk to their health or that of their baby
- Travelers on long journeys
- Menstruating women (they can make up their missed fasts later)
After sunset (Iftar), you can drink water and eat until Suhoor (the pre-dawn meal) before fasting resumes.
