Question: What is the ruling if a fasting person eats, drinks, or has sexual intercourse believing that the sun has set or that the dawn has not yet appeared?

Answer: The correct view is that he must make up the fast and pay the expiation for zihar for the act of intercourse, according to the majority of scholars, in order to block the means to laxity and to be cautious regarding the fast.
