Answer By Dr Zakir Naik,Normally when people fast there are some people who think that after you gargle your mouth with water or rinse your mouth with water then they should spit out because you know may be some water will be swallowed. But the general ruling is that most of the scholars agree that once you gargle the mouth and after expulsion of the water from the mouth there’s no need to spit, it’s not a requirement. And even those few scholars who say we should spit, it’s only once. But there are some people who spit several times, some people even take a cloth and they dry their mouth.. you know? After gargling.. thinking that the water will ..you know? Go into the stomach which is absurd because normally when we see and we read the Seerah of the Prophet and the lifestyle of the Sahabaas, many a times when they drank water just before Fajr, before beginning the fast, when they heard the Fajr Adhaan, they stopped drinking. But we have never heard of any Sahaaba spitting out after drinking water. If you have to spit while gargling the people when they have water just before starting the fast, at the end of the Suhoor, when they hear the Adhaan surely some Hadith would have said that the Sahaaba they spat, you know so that the water doesn’t go into.. which is not seen and while doing Wudhu when you gargle the mouth, rinse the mouth and you expel the water that’s it. Even if you want to spit maximum, I think once is sufficient. You can go beyond that spitting several times and you know taking a cloth and drying your mouth. Everything else that remains can be counted as part of the Saliva. There’s no problem at all. You can’t make life difficult for you
