Sunnah method of drinking water
Question
I would like to confirm about the sunnat way of drinking water, should we drink water in 3 breaths or 3 sips.
Could you please provide arabic ibaarat as well?
Answer
3 breaths means that you move the glass away from your mouth after the first sip, take another breath and then take a second sip.
You may look in the sharah of Abu Dawood Shareef.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
