One who celebrated the festival with the people, then it became more likely to him that that day was a day of Ramadan, is he obligated to make it up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The other question is about one who believed, meaning after the end of the festival, that he did not fast the day of the festival and broke his fast with the people, but he believed that the day of the festival was actually from Ramadan, after he observed the moon during the month of Shawwal, and also during his questioning of specialists and others, it became confirmed for him or more likely to him that that day was from Ramadan. Is he obligated to make it up if it became more likely to him?

The Shaykh : I think the answer to this is taken from what came before. He is not obligated to make it up if he fasted twenty-nine days. If the Muslims fasted twenty-nine days, he is not obligated to make it up. But if we suppose that they fasted twenty-eight days, there is no doubt that he must make up one day.

Another questioner : Some of the enthusiastic youth in Egypt fasted with Saudi Arabia and broke their fast with Saudi Arabia.

The Shaykh : Where?

Another questioner : In Egypt.

The Shaykh : In Egypt?

Another questioner : Yes, so they celebrated the festival before.

The Shaykh : Before the Egyptians celebrated.

Another questioner : Before the Egyptians celebrated, so a problem occurred that led to fighting and killing. Now a large group is in prison, and some individuals were killed, and there was a confrontation with the police because they announced, "We prayed the festival prayer," while the people were fasting. So a great fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) occurred this year. Yes, and it was exploited in the media and elsewhere. This is what happens.
