Is my fast valid, or do I have to make it up, given that I was eating and drinking at the time of the Fajr Adhan out of ignorance?

What is considered for the obligation to abstain from that which breaks the fast is the true dawn. So if the muezzin calls the adhan before dawn, the fast is valid without any problem. If it becomes clear that the adhan is called at the onset of dawn, the ruling applies to whoever consumed a fast- breaking item thinking that the night remained. The majority of scholars hold that the fast is invalid and qada' (making up the day) is obligatory. Some scholars are of the opinion that qada' is not obligatory, and it is permissible for the questioner to follow the view that qada' is not obligatory.
