Question: At which point does a person start to measure the distance to be a Musaafir?

Answer: For one to be regarded as a Musaafir, the distance from the exit boundary of one’s hometown to the entry boundary of the intended destination will be taken into consideration.

One will only be classified as a Musaafir if the distance between the two boundaries amounts to 78 km or more. (The extra mileage travelled within the borders of the hometown and the destination town will not be added on) [Ref: Fatawaa Mahmudiyya, Vol. 20, Pg. 312)]

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
