Question :

 


What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks thinking that the sun has set, then realizes that it has not yet set?


The Answer :

Whoever eats or drinks believing that the sun has set, then later discovers that it has not yet set, their fast is invalid, and they must make up that day after Ramadan. It is not permissible to break the fast before confirming sunset—either by seeing it, through personal reasoning, or by relying on the statement of someone trustworthy in their religious commitment.
