:salam2:
is it possible to perform a fast without giving up water? i'm not talking about the fasting during the month of ramadan, but i mean outside of that time. i want to perform a fast because i read in the hadiths that it helps one lower their gaze and protect their private parts and also helps to avoid other sins. my problem is that i work in a place where at times it can be very hot, require much lifting etc. and abstaining from water would be too difficult. i can bear with during ramadan, but i feel myself needing to fast a lot, for different things are buliding up in me. it's just that i don't want to break my niyyah of fasting by drinking water. i just want to know if i can make the niyyah of fasting without giving up water or does fasting require both the abstinence of food and drink. i would appreciate the advice.
