The ruling on one who breaks his fast before the sun sets, thinking that Maghrib has entered
If we say: If a person eats after the dawn has appeared, thinking that the dawn has not yet appeared, his fast is valid. What is your opinion regarding one who eats before the sun sets, when a mu'adhdhin called for prayer before the time, thinking that Maghrib had entered, so he ate? Then, when it became clear to him, he found that Maghrib had not yet come. Do we say that his fast is invalid?
No.
We say that his fast is valid. The questioner was ignorant, so his fast is valid. There is a specific text on this matter, in which Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: (We broke our fast during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a cloudy day, then the sun appeared, and we were not ordered to make it up).
