Summary
For people living in urban areas, the travel limit begins once they pass the boundary of the district council or municipal council of their residence. From that point they may take traveller concessions such as combining and shortening the obligatory prayers. For those living in villages and rural areas, the limit begins after leaving the village boundary or the boundary of their residential area.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bermulanya had safar bagi seseorang yang tinggal di Kawasan bandar yang membolehkan ia melakukan ruhsoh sebagai musafir seperti jamak dan kasor dalam melaksanakan ibadah solat fardhu ialah melepasi Batasan majlis daerah atau majlis perbandaran kediaman tempat tinggal.
