Tasting Water for the Fasting Person
Today I intended to fast the missed fast, and after the Fajr call to prayer, I wanted to give my son some water to drink, so I tasted it to see if it was cold enough or not. What is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If water enters your throat, you have broken your fast; and if it does not enter, you remain fasting. And God knows best.
