- Does bathing in an outdoor swimming pool during Ramadan break the fast?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If by "outdoor bath" a swimming pool is meant, then a fasting person should not bathe in it, because one cannot guarantee that water will not reach their throat. If water does reach the throat, the fast is broken, and it becomes obligatory to make up that day. However, if "ordinary bathing" is meant, there is no harm in it, provided caution is exercised to prevent water from reaching the throat.
