It has been several years, and we do not abstain until the end of the adhan. What is the ruling on our doing this? (Repetition of the question)

The questioner : It has been several years, and we do not abstain until the end of the adhan. What is the ruling on our doing this?
The Shaykh : The adhan for the Fajr prayer is either after the appearance of dawn or before it. If it is after the appearance of dawn, it is obligatory for a person to abstain as soon as he hears the call, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1092b.
So if you know that this mu'adhdhin does not call to prayer except when dawn has appeared, then abstain as soon as he calls.
As for if the mu'adhdhin calls to prayer based on what he knows of the timing, or based on his clock, then the matter in this case is easier.
And based on this, we say to thisThe questioner : that what has passed does not require you to make it up, because you were not certain that you ate after the appearance of dawn.
But in the future, a person should be cautious for himself, so if he hears the mu'adhdhin, let him abstain.

Bilal announces Adhan during the night, so you eat and drink, till you hear the Adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum
إنَّ بِلالا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ، فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تسمعوا آذان ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يُؤَذِّنُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُSo if you know that this mu'adhdhin does not call to prayer except when dawn has appeared, then abstain as soon as he calls.
