Hi. I intend to marry a Muslim in Egypt in September, but as yet I am not a Muslim, but have a massive amount of respect for muslims and the Islam faith. My question is.. I am happy to fast during daylight hours while I am in Cairo, out of respect, but as I am from Scotland and not used to the hot weather I am concerned about not having any liquid, would it be allowed for me to at least drink water? or would I offend?

 If you are fasting then you cannot drink any liquid during the day that you are fasting. But if you are quite unable to survive without a liquid then you may not fast. You may pass the day without fast. But then you have to give some money or food to some poor person for every day that you miss the fast.

 Then later when you feel that you re able to face the hardship of the fast then you will make a promise with Allah that you will try your best to complete it.( without liquids).

 While a lady is  menstruating, she is not required to fast or make the daily prayer.

Ramadaan
 
Thanks be to Allah the glorified , Who takes care - of us , and may prayers and peace be upon our leader the Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.UH )  and his Sahaba . This proclamation is sent from the slave who is poor to Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala , Al Imaam Muhammad Ahmad Al Mahdi Ibn Abdullah ( A.S. ) to all his intimates who believe in  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala , his Scripture and in great reward  he has stored in the home of continuous comfort when they shall weet  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala . O my sincere intimates , surely fasting is great . This moth of Ramadaan is a month of honor . You have to beware of it ; so that you may receive the reward of your fasting .
 
Proclamation Of Ramadaan
 
'' Surely The Reward Is Great Because The Faster Has Two Joys . One Of Them Is The Joy Of Meeting Your Sustainer .
 
Fasting Is The Gate Of Worship .
 
'' Fasting Is An Opening To The Gate Of The Heaven . If You Overstand That . Then Keep Your Fasting In Both The Outwardnes And The Inwardness . And By That Follows The Coming Instructions .
 
'' The First One ; To Lower Your Gaza To Women , And To Prohibit Not To Commit Blamable And Dislikable Behavior , Or Any Of That Which May Disturb Your Remebering  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala '' .
 
'' A Gaze To Women Is Iblis's Arrow , May  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala Curse Him . Who Does Not Commit Such A Gaze ,  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala Taste Him The Taste Of Believing , Which He Shall Find Its Sweetness In His Heart .
 
Secondly ; To Keep Your Tongue From Nonsense , Lying , Bacbiting , And Slander , Bad Words , Quarrelling .
 
'' You Have To Keep Your Tongue By Silence And Make It Busy By Remembering  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala  And Citing Of Qur'aan .
 
 
'' If You Are Fasting And Haven't To Say A Bad Word Or To Offer A Behavior Of Ignorance , '' And If There Is Anyone Who Is Aggressive Against You , Of If He Curses You , You Have To Say To Him For Two Times That '' Surely I Am Fasting .
 
'' Thirdly ; You Have To Let Your Ears Avoid Hearing Any Dislikeable Thing ; Because Everything Prohibited To Be Said Is Equally Foridden To Be Heard .
 
'' Fourthly ; To Control Your Other Limbs , Hands , Legs , Feet , Stomach Not To Do Wrong Things . Who Does Not Follow That Shall Be Like That Who Builds A Palace And Equally Destroys Another One .
 
'' Fifthly ; Not To Eat A Great Deal Of The '' Halal ' Food . There Is Not A Dish That Is Disliked As That One Which Is Filled With ''Halal ' Food , As It Is Cited . ''
 
'' And How Fasting Can Break Appetite If The Faster At The Moment Of Breaking Fast Compensates All That Passed Him Through The Day . ''
 
'' The Meaning Of Fasting Is To Break The Appetite So That The Heavens Of The Sustainer Might Be Opened By Shutting The Gate Of Shaytaan ( CH ) , Which Is Appetite . ''
 
'' Fasting Is To Break Longing So That The Soul Might Empower His Material Things .
 
'' If The Faster Continues Everynight To Have A Light Amount Of Food , It Would Make It Easy For Him To Recite His Portion Of Qur'aan And To Pray At Night , So That The Shaytaan ( C.H. )
, May Not Turn Around His Heart . Then He Can See The Heaven Of  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala .  And After He Can Empty His Heart From Everything Other Than  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala ; Which Is The Goal Of Fasting .
 
'' Then You Have To Overstand That The Meaning Of Fasting Is To Get One Of The Morals Of  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala  Which Is Being Independent From Orhers . And To Be Like The Angels ( S.R.A. )  In Leaving The Selfish ( Likes ) . ''
 
'' Man's Rank Is Above Animals , And Then Below The Angels , Because He Is Subject To His Likes .
 
'' Sixthly ; At The Moment Of Breaking Fast , The Hear Of The Faster Has To Go To And Fro Between Fear And Hope ; He Does Not Know Yet If His Fasting Is Accepted By Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala  ; So That To Be One Of Those Whose Deeds Are Rewarded In Three Fold , Or Those Whose Fasting Is Going To Be Refused And Then He Shall Be One Of The Disliked .
 
'' It Is Said That There Were Two Women At The Time Of The Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.U.H ) Who Had Fasted , They Got Too Hungry And Thirsty To The Extent That They Were About To Die . They Asked The Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.U.H ) To Permit Them To Break Fast . He Sent Them A Dish And Called Them To Vomit What They Had Eaten . One Of Them Did Vomit Fresh Blood And So Did The Other ,  People Wondered . The Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.U.H ) Said ' ; Those Who Had Fasted From What Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala  ;  Made Lawful And Break Fast From What Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala  Had Made Illegal , They Say With Each Other Backbiting Other People . '' That Was What The Two Women Vomited .
 
So Overstand , O My Sincere Intimates . It Is The Way Of Your Good Ancestors And Believers . Then Make Use The Change Of Honouring Ramadaan , And Get The Great Rewared Of It From Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala The Merciful ; And Gain The Goods By Making Salaat And Supplicamented Calls , Re-Citing And Listening To Qur'aan , And To Continue Remembering Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala , ''
 
Surely Reward In This Moth Is Three Fold . So Be Careful Not To Commit Wrongs And Make Much Of Remembering Allahu Akbar , And Prayers At Night ; May Peace Be Sent Upon You .
 
 
Zakawt ~ Alms
 
''And upon his believing , he also make it easy to give all the goodies that he has to the needy , because he believes that grace comes from Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta 'Ala , '' . Then on believing that  , he always gives away . . Giving that non contimious grace and waiting for the continuous grace .
 
Zakawt ~ Alms
 
'' According To The Islaamic Policy Of Money . As It Is Cllarified , You Have To Pay One - Tenth Of Your Seeds '' .
 
''The Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.U.H )  Used to speand , the speanding of that man who did not apprehend poverty . It happened that he pledged his shield ; And the day of poverty were likable to him than those of comfort . That was because he had a pure intention to get righteousness and he knew that if you trust what Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala has promised you , You would then receive a high position .
 
'' It is disliked to chain your hands to your neck re-fusing to pay '' .
 
'' And it is likewish disliked to open your hand a complete opening ,
 
'' But it will be likable if you open your hand a complete opening for Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala has cause , As it was done by The Prophet Mustafa Muhammad Al Amin ( P.B.U.H ) , And his companions ; And by the people of perfection in every century .
 
'' But who is rebuked and denuded is that who opens his hand a complete opening but does not for the sake of  Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala .
 
But who opens his hand for the cause of Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala shall be rewarded and Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala will give him a substitute ; And what is stored by Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala is better for him than what is in his hand . ''
 
'' Who behaves also shall find the reward of Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala .
 
'' Surely Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala will reward a substitute for any perishable loss you have suffered , And he will make you overtake the hopes that had passed you .
 
The real believer in Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala trusts him in all things ; He doesn't Trust those things other than Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala .
 
Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala is immortal but they are not . He is better than all things and he is more near to man than everything .
 
'' Man's being , Depends upon Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala and so his efforys ; And so are the other beings and things .
 
''And you shall be sure if you see the realities of things even money cannot stand by itself .
 
'' If you see that the best food does not beneft that whose mouth is shut by Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala and even if you stuff it into his larynx , It will not pass to his stomach . And even if it will not benefit him except on Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala agreement . You have to know that everything is depending on Allahu Subhaanahu Wa Ta' Ala  and do not fall in illusion .

Chris, as you are not a muslim fasting is not obligatory on you neither is giving food and money to poor people for any missed fast.

Because you are not a muslim, and you say you want to fast as a sign of respect to Islam, and you say you are unable to survive in the heat without liquids, i would suggest you refrain from eating but take liquids as and when required but do it discretely. And if you want to eat then again do it somewhere discretely so as not to upset anyone who's a tad too sensitive.
 
Good luck
