What is the ruling if a fasting person accidentally commits one of the invalidators, and then intentionally does it again believing that their fast is invalid due to ignorance of the matter? Is it necessary for them to make up the fast and pay a penalty, or just to make up the fast?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
They must make up that day. As for the penalty, if they did not consider what they committed to be one of the invalidators and believed it was forbidden (even due to their belief that their fast was invalid), then the penalty is not obligatory upon them.
May you be successful in all good.
