What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast before the adhan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about a man who broke his fast before the mu'adhdhin called the adhan.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to break his fast before the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan. When the mu'adhins call the adhan, he breaks his fast; because the adhan of the mu'adhdhin is a sign of the setting of the sun. So no, but as long as the issue is that he says half a minute or something similar, a very small amount, then perhaps, if Allah wills, he will not have to make up the fast. But he made a mistake, he made a mistake in this, where he exposed himself to error. So he should be patient until the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan, and he breaks his fast with the people. Yes.
