If the reason for breaking the fast is extreme thirst, then there is no sin in that; for extreme thirst necessitates breaking the fast, just like illness. Scholars have mentioned that the excuses that waive sin include extreme hunger and thirst, based on the Almighty's saying: "And He has not placed upon you in religion any difficulty."
