What is the ruling on someone who made a mistake in the Maghrib Adhan during Ramadan and called it two minutes before its time, leading some fasting people to break their fast based on it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

One of the conditions for the validity of the Adhan is the entry of the time, and it is forbidden before it. There is no sin upon the muezzin or those who broke their fast due to their error, according to the Hadith: "My nation has been forgiven for their mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do." Those who broke their fast must make up the day, because one of the conditions of fasting is to abstain from things that break the fast from the rise of dawn until sunset.
