One who breaks his fast based on a child's report of the adhan, then it is revealed that he was mistaken

The questioner:
This is another question. A man says: I was waiting to break my fast with my sons, so one of my young sons came and said, "Father, the mu'adhdhin has called the adhan." So the father broke his fast without verifying the report. After a while, the mu'adhdhin called the adhan. Is his fast valid, or does he have to make it up?
The Shaykh:
If a person is required to make up the fast, it is like a voluntary prayer; because first, a young child is not relied upon for something like this. Also, his mistake became apparent; it became clear that he was mistaken and that some of the day remained. So he has to make it up. Yes.
Another questioner:
Listen, peace be upon you. Show us how to set it up.
The Shaykh:
This is on the condition that the one who informed them was trustworthy and excused. But when the sun appeared, just as 'Urwah said, is there a necessity to make it up in the month of 'Urwah? The majority hold that he has to make it up. If it becomes clear that they broke their fast before the sun set, they have to make it up.
Another questioner:
Some people call the adhan, and if you break your fast, it turns out to be a mistake. This has happened.
The Shaykh:
A physical thing, a minute, does not harm. But if he knows that the sun has not set and that he ate before sunset, he makes it up. Even if the mu'adhdhin called. Yes, so if it is established that he ate before sunset, he makes it up.
Another questioner:
From the athar.
The Shaykh:
Or if it is established that he ate after the dawn, according to the majority, he makes it up as a precaution to avoid the disagreement. Yes.
