Is the one who breaks his fast before the Maghrib adhan sinful if the mu'adhdhin made a mistake?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the one who breaks his fast in Ramadan a quarter of an hour before Maghrib, for example, when he hears the adhan of a mu'adhdhin who has erred in the time of the adhan, and upon whom does the sin fall?

Answer:
If he breaks his fast before the sun sets, he must make up the fast, and he must follow the mu'adhdhin. The mu'adhdhin must verify the time and not hasten until he is certain of the setting of the sun based on the evidence.
