Selamun aleykum. What should a person who continues to eat until the morning prayer ends in sahur? He does not know that he cannot eat while the adhan and he has kept all fasts like this for 7 years. Should he make up all of these fasts now?

Aleykum salam. First of all, let him embrace the truth he has learned. If he kept every fast like this, kaffarah is not required because it was due to a mistake in knowledge. Normally, it is preferred to make qada, that is, to keep those fasts again. Let him try to keep those fasts, even if he does occasionally. Ask for forgiveness, Allah is merciful.
