Is It Good To Drink Water While Fasting? by seunwen2(m): 1:02pm On Feb 26, 2016

It depends on your arrangement with God. Fasting is different forms. It is simply abstenance from what your flesh yearns for so as to be in the right mood for worship.
There is no hard and fast rule, but try not to use that as a way to suppress hunger. That cld amount to hypocrisy

water is food. When you're fasting , you neither eat nor drink.

no my friend, water isn't food. There are different types of fasting, some take water or juice or neither while fasting depending on their convenant with God. God is always pleased when we fast whether with or without water. But the most powerful fasting is the 3 day dry fast-no water or food taken by esther that saved her people. The more sacrificial your fast, the more spiritual results.

Just so you know, fasting is total abstinence from food. and water is food my dear. Water is a class of food.

If you are doing a 3 day fast and decide to break at 2pm daily, you're free to consume a tank of water after you must've broke your fast at 2pm daily, but a situation where you consume water or any other food, before breaking your fast for that day, it ceases to be a fast.

Smh, there are six classes of food and water is one of them. Water is classed under food.

You missed the point entirely. Fasting is not total abstinence from food, though, it is the most preferred. Do you know that you can do fruit fasting for days, eating only fruits, the same with water? There is a type I do now, which is, from 6am to 12pm, no food or water, from 12pm to 6pm, I will take fruit of N50-N100 and water once. After 6pm, I'll have my normal dinner. Part of my reason is because of my health (ex-ulcer patient). Again, in my prayer group, whenever we go for camping, we usually engage in a type of fasting we call "bread and water" that lasts for three days. We only eat four slices of bread and one sachet of water by 8pm each day. On the 3rd day, we break the fast with rice, fruits etc.
