Does going to the bathroom in Ramadan break the fast?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm for a fasting person to take a bath, even if they immerse themselves in water, as long as they are sure that nothing will enter their ears. Similarly, there is no harm in entering public baths, provided that one covers their 'awrah and lowers their gaze from the 'awrahs of others.
