Summary
A person is not permitted to break the fast at home before starting a journey. In the Shafi'i school, a traveller must leave the area of residence before dawn for breaking the fast to be allowed, otherwise he must continue fasting. It is preferable to keep fasting as far as able during the journey, and if fasting causes hardship or harm, such as affecting concentration while driving, breaking the fast is permitted while travelling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang musafir hendaklah keluar dari kawasan tempat dia bermukim terlebih dahulu sebelum dia diharuskan untuk berbuka puasa.
