the question:
For a long time, I noticed that there are differences in the timing of the call to prayer between my city and the capital, on which the radio announces the call to prayer, and most of the neighboring cities follow it without taking into account the time differences, but I ignored that while fasting, thinking that the sunset call in the city follows the sunset call in the capital, but I I was recently surprised that the dawn call to prayer in our city precedes the dawn call to prayer in the capital – by about two minutes on the day I checked the calendar, and I did not take into account this in the past because I did not know about it, or because I forgot, so I used to catch and break the fast with the call to the muezzin who does not take into account the time differences between the capital and the regions The other, what is the ruling on my fasting in previous years?
Fatwa text:
If you ate after dawn, thinking that the night had passed, then making up those days is obligatory for you, according to the majority of scholars, if it becomes clear to you that dawn has broken with certainty. He said: And if he ate thinking that the dawn did not come when it did, or if he broke his fast thinking that the sun had set and not set, then he has to make up for it. And on the authority of Omar – may God be pleased with him – two sayings in this matter, and Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah – may God have mercy on him – chose that whoever ate thinking that the sun had set or the night remained, then it became clear to him the opposite of that, that he does not have to make up for it.
