Fasting to make up a missed day, and hearing a sound that I thought was the adhan, so I broke my fast, then it turned out it was not the adhan; is my fast valid?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The author of this letter says: I fasted one day, and it was a make-up for an obligatory fast, and I broke my fast a few minutes before the adhan because I heard a sound and thought it was the adhan. Is my fast valid?

Answer:
If this fasting person broke his fast a few minutes before the adhan, he must repeat this day, because he broke his fast before the time for breaking the fast had arrived, and before the sun had set. He should have been certain and not hastened until he heard the adhan or saw the sun set. So, there is a degree of negligence and haste on his part in this matter. If it becomes clear to him that he broke his fast a few minutes before the sun set, he must repeat the fast because he did not complete the day. Yes.
