Question:
He says: It happened in Ramadan that we ate and drank intentionally after the Fajr adhan. A long discussion took place among us regarding this issue, and we hope you will guide us on how to proceed? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must repent and make up the fasts. You must repent and make up the fasts; because the adhan is timed to the time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 622, 623, and that is because Ibn Umm Maktum used to call the adhan for the dawn. The times are estimated, and they have prepared a calculation for them to follow. So if you eat after the adhan, you are taking a risk and playing with the matter, so you must make up the fasts.
As for [eating] with the adhan and at the time of the adhan when there is a need, there is nothing wrong with it. But after the adhan, it is obligatory to make up the fast, and not to be lenient in this matter. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bilal pronounces the Adhan at night, so eat and drink (Suhur) till Ibn Um Maktum pronounces the Adhan."
إن بلالًا يؤذن بليل فكلوا واشربوا حتى يؤذن ابن أم مكتومAs for [eating] with the adhan and at the time of the adhan when there is a need, there is nothing wrong with it. But after the adhan, it is obligatory to make up the fast, and not to be lenient in this matter. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone.
