Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The difference between the one who forgets and the one who is ignorant: the ignorant one is deliberate.
Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding the ignorant person, and there is disagreement among people regarding this. As for the ignorant person, the correct view held by the majority is that he breaks his fast. If he comes and claims he was ignorant, or if he rode after the dawn had appeared, or before the sun had set, and says, "I was ignorant," the majority, or the greater number, order him to make up the fast. The majority hold this view, so this is the ruling issued: that he must make up the fast. Yes.

May Allah reward you
