As I understand it, nothing has got to pass you lips during fasting. No sex either. The only time you can break fasting is for women, that's when there having their period. No smoking, sex, drinking or eating.
I work with 2 asian lasses and they have broken their's because they seriously needed a drink of water. We work 12 hour shifts in a nursing home, that can get really hot and the only way to cope is the have a drink of water to keep hydrated. Now I know it's religion but who in there right mind stops people from having a drink when they really need one??
