                                For many people who practice fasting, either for health or other reasons, the accidental consumption of water is a common concern. While specific rules can vary depending on the type of fast, generally, an unintentional sip is unlikely to completely derail your efforts if handled correctly. Understanding the distinction between intentional and accidental intake is key to navigating these moments and continuing your fast with minimal interruption.
