Assalamoalaikum
 
I have read a hadith somewhere that one should not drink water on empty stomach. Is it a true hadith? Is there any advise from our Prophet in this regard ? 
 
There is a great propaganda attributed to the Japanese researcher about curing all diseases by drinking water on empty stomach in the morning while some Hakeems are advocating against it.
 
What is the true picture.
 
Wassalam

Assalam O Alaikum, this topic has been discussed earlier, anyhow, we repeat the words once again.

Ibn Al Qayyam wrote that water should not be taken at an empty stomach, it has the following explanations.
  1. Some people are convinced with the Japanese therapy of drinking 6 ~ 8 glasses of water immediately after waking up. Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam always used SIWAAK as the first thing in morning & then he performed Wadhoo (ablution). Drinking water (after waking up) without washing the mouth will pour down the putrefied substances in stomach, thus causing ailments.
  2. Ibn Al Qayyam quoted Imam Shafi'ee who said: "Four matters weaken the body, sexual intercourse, depression, drinking water repeatedly while the stomach is empty & consuming sour foods in excess".
  3. Ibn Al Qayyam also wrote that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to drink honey with cold water, and this is an especially effective method to preserve the health that only the best doctors could have knowledge of. Drinking honey on an empty stomach will dissolve phlegm, purify the stomach’s protective layers and dissipate its viscidity and excrements while heating it mildly. Honey helps against the clogs in stomach, kidney, liver and prostate. Adding to all these benefits that we mentioned, honey does not have any side effects, nor harm except for those suffering from bile and who should take it with vinegar to neutralize its harm.
So in brief, it is well understood that after waking up, SIWAAK should be used, Wadhoo should be performed & then it is the time to drink a glass of water with honey, & the best is Sakanjabeen (Honey & Vinegar). It is because most of us today have bilious (liver) disorders (that also includes Diabetes).
 
A person who takes dinner early (say before Maghrib or immediately after the Maghrib) will never have the urge of immense thirst after waking up in the morning, and then taking NABEEZ or some fruits after 2 hours of dinner will quench the thirst further. And Allah Holds the most perfect knowledge.
