Explaining what is obligatory upon one who breaks his fast before the sun sets

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q452: The questioner says: In Ramadan, I broke my fast about two or three minutes before the adhan, and that was due to my assumption. Do I have to repeat the fast at that time?
A452: If you broke your fast two or three minutes before the time, as you mentioned, or more, it is obligatory for you to repeat it; because you did not complete the fast, and this is if you are certain
that you broke your fast before the sun set, even if it was by two minutes, or by a short time; because you did not complete it. So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
Then complete the fast until the sunsetثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:187]
. The goal is entering the time of the night while you are fasting before that.
