Sunnah method of drinking water
Question
I would like to confirm about the sunnat way of drinking water, should we drink water in 3 breaths or 3 sips.
Could you please provide arabic ibaarat as well?
Answer
3 breaths means that you move the glass away from your mouth after the first sip, take another breath and then take a second sip.
You may look in the sharah of Abu Dawood Shareef.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
