According to the Quran, Allah intends ease for His believers and does not desire hardship, providing clear exemptions from fasting for the sick. This means that yes, you can drink water during Ramadan if you're sick, as long as it's part of not fasting at all due to illness.

According to a 2025 study referenced by transparenthands.org, 93% of Muslims typically fast during the holy month of Ramadan. However, Islam provides merciful concessions for those who face legitimate difficulties, clearly outlining what is a valid excuse for not fasting.
