Can we swim while fasting in a swimming pool where there is chlorine and bleach smell?
Bismillahi Ta’ala
Walaikum Assalam Warahmatullah
It is permissible, though inadvisable, to swim while fasting as long as one is reasonably certain that water will not enter ones body. However, if one perceived that even a drop of water goes beyond the throat, then the fast will break. It is for this reason, some mashayekh consider swimming during fast endangering one’s fast.
