The answer

Then complete the fast until the sunset." Therefore, one must abstain at the that corresponds to the true dawn. It is not permissible to call the second adhan before dawn under the pretext of caution, as this is an innovation, as highlighted by Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, who described it as contradicting the , diminishing good, and increasing evil.
