Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from ‘Isma‘il ibn Marrar from Yunus from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of our young women and man who are not able to fast because of thirst. He (the Imam) said, ‘They can drink to quench their souls and to remove their fear.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/305))
