The answer

The determining factor for abstaining is the rise of the true dawn (Fajr As-Sadiq), based on the Almighty’s saying: "And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]." The second is the one that occurs at the rise of dawn, based on the of Ibn Umar, in which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Bilal calls the Adhan at night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls." So, if the first Adhan in the mosque is at the rise of dawn, then one must abstain, and the fast is valid. However, if it is before the rise of dawn, then it is permissible to eat and drink until the rise of dawn is ascertained.
