Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 712/701/N=8/1439)
There are both types of narrations on drinking water empty stomach in the morning, i.e. in some narrations the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade drinking water empty stomach as it weakens the man, while in some narrations we do find the mention of drinking water empty stomach. One narration says that it lessens the fat of body but both types of narrations are weak as per the Muhaddithin. Further, it is medical instruction not a Shariah ruling. Also its ruling will be different for many in view of the nature and region. Hence you should talk to your doctor and tell your whole situation and seek his advice. If he allows you to drink water empty stomach early morning keeping in mind your situation then you may do so. According to Shariah, there is no harm in it.
