What is the ruling on the fasting of one who ate or drank after the Fajr adhan, thinking that the time had not yet entered?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: I arrived in Makkah and I was tired, so I slept. I woke up and did not know whether the Fajr adhan had been called or not. I thought there were still about ten minutes until the adhan, so I began to eat. Suddenly, I heard the iqamah for prayer. Am I considered to have broken my fast, given that I completed the fast?

Answer:
Yes, you are required to complete the fast, but you must make up this day; because you ate and drank after the dawn had appeared. You ate and drank after the dawn had appeared, and it was obligatory for you to ask those around you so that you would know the time, or to look at the clock. There are many hours for Shaytan. You should look or ask those around you. Are you the one who was negligent?
