What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast upon hearing the adhan, and then it becomes clear to him that the mu'adhdhin called before the time?

The questioner:
A person broke his fast upon the adhan and after that.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: A person broke his fast upon the adhan, yes, and after that it became clear that the mu'adhdhin was ahead of the time by a small amount. Does he have to make up the fast?
The Shaykh:
If the mu'adhdhin made a mistake, because some mu'adhdhins are human and may make a mistake by calling before the time, then if it is established that he called before the setting of the sun, the one who broke his fast must make up the fast. But if it is not established, the default is that the fast is valid, unless it is established that the mu'adhdhin called before the setting of the sun.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The scholars say that one who eats while in doubt about the setting of the sun must make up the fast, because the default is the continuation of the day until he is convinced or certain that the sun has set. Yes.
