Can Someone Who is Fasting Swim?
Question: What is the ruling concerning swimming in the water for someone who is fasting?
Answer: There is no problem for the one who is fasting to submerse himself in the water or to float in it swimming, because these are not from the things that break the fast. And the origin is that things are permissible until there is a proof for them being disliked or them being prohibited. And in this case here there is no proof for prohibition nor for it being disliked. Rather it is just that some of the people of knowledge disliked it due to fear that water would enter into the person's throat while he did not perceive it.
