The Undesirability of Immersing One’s Head in Water while Fasting

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from al-Sayyariy from Muhammad ibn Ali al- Hamadaniy from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who stays in water when he is fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful, but he must not immerse himself in it and a woman must not stay in water, because she carries water in her urethra.’”
