The ruling on breaking the fast two minutes before the adhan due to a time difference

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I am sometimes two hundred kilometers away from Riyadh, and we have an estimated timetable from the Cooperative Association; the Cooperative Office we have has a time difference of about five minutes. Four or five days ago, the mu'adhdhin was a little late, and the adhan was at 6:48 in the first week, while I was at the 50-minute mark. So I thought the adhan had already been called, and after I had eaten for two minutes, the mu'adhdhin called the adhan at 6:56. I had estimated based on the two days before that. It was a casual estimate. Do I have to make up the two days I broke my fast due to a two-minute time difference?

The Shaykh:
the job.

The presenter:
The mu'adhdhin was late, Shaykh, so I broke my fast two or three minutes before the time.

The Shaykh:
If you have ascertained the sunset and broken your fast, there is no harm, even if the mu'adhdhin is late.
