Wudhu During Fasting: Swallowing Water – Is My Fast Invalid?

Answered by 

Q: I’m curious that every time I make wudhu during fasting; water is held in my mouth and even after spitting it out twice or thrice I still swallow water mixed with saliva, what is the ruling? Is my fast invalid?

Bismillaah

A: The fast is valid.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
