The ruling on one who does something that breaks the fast while ignorant

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person is ignorant of one of the things that break the fast and does it, is it obligatory for him to make up the fast, or is repentance alone sufficient for him?

Answer:
No. If he eats or drinks intentionally, he must make up that day, even if he was ignorant. The one who is excused is the one who forgets and eats or drinks; in that case, he completes his fast. As for being ignorant and saying, "I am ignorant," that is not an excuse in this matter. Yes.
