Q: Can I swim whilst Fasting? Mufti Abu Layth

bismillah [Music] [Music] can I swim okay well try and find out by jumping in the deep end first

if you simply can answer that question after five minutes the answer is yes you can swim can I swim during fasting aha what if I swallow water accidentally during this well I think the purpose is not to drink the swimming pool so first of all can you swim unanimously you can swim during fasting okay so there is no contradiction between swimming and fasting okay for those people that think the water goes into your skin and you

comes in there those people just hello there yes I mean there were especially kind of specially challenged people whose happiness is there what we call the the sunshine group let's just need coloring books but anyway so the thing is water does not go through your skin it's not like you know your skin is waterproof okay so that doesn't break

you fast as to swallowing water there is a debate on this okay the thing is that if you swallow water accidentally if you swallow it intentionally then obviously you're broken you're fast if you swallow it accidentally as a question has actually accidentally if you swallow it accidentally the thing is is a difference of opinion here you see everybody is clear that if you forgetful II drank then you're fast is valid more or less according to the majority and if

you purposely drank the fast is invalid but what about the accidentally in the middle so in the middle many people here including many of the Malik here many of the hana fear and you know amongst the chef area too they joined this with the intentional they said that ok no it's you know no it's no kuffara but you have to make up some people I believe some of the ulema amongst them some of the chef's a year the Hanabi learn some other Olimar they

joined this with the with the forgetful they said accidental is more like forgetful than it is like intentional to be fair that is in my understanding what makes more sense and something is accidental Allah says that let you know that Omar Ali Khan convenien Harwich Allah has not placed an inconvenience in this name then yourself beam is one of ease and in other parallel to allow you al Qaeda come along like where a lot mention that he does not take you to

account for certain things ok that you are that the only things that you are taken to account for is with intention in them at my Logan yet and there's so many parallels for things like this so personally my understanding I would also see this to be more in agreement with the the the forgetful then would be intentional so I would say if you ended up swallowing some of the swimming pool water than that's fine it doesn't validate your fast just don't

try and drink it all up obviously that's cousin it's not going to really make too much sense really and don't worry about the swimming yeah definitely you know everybody's it's waterproof ok so okay I hope that helps right next question
