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

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from certain persons of our people from Muthanna’ al-Hannat and al- Hassan al-Sayqal who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who is fasting and immerses himself in water. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must not do so and also one who is in the state of Ihram.’ He (the narrator) has said that he asked him (the Imam) about one who is fasting, puts on wet clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must not do so.’”
