Does one who drinks water during the Fajr adhan break his fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes, yes, peace be upon you. She says that on one day, Honorable Shaykh, she woke up between the adhan and the iqamah, yes, and drank water?
Answer : If she knew that the Fajr adhan had been called, yes. She must make up this day. It is not permissible for a person, when the dawn breaks and he intends to fast, to eat or drink if his fast is obligatory. If it is voluntary, it becomes invalid, but there is no blame on him. This woman must now make up the day on which she drank water after the adhan, if she knew that the Fajr adhan had been called. However, if she did not know and did not realize until the iqamah for prayer was called, and then she knew that she had drunk after the Fajr adhan, she owes nothing because she was ignorant. And anyone who does one of the things that break the fast while ignorant commits no sin and owes no make-up, as Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said:[Al-Baqarah 2:286]

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
