From which point should the distance for a journey be calculated?

Question

From which point should the distance for a journey be calculated? From one's home or from the boundary of the town?

Answer

The distance for safar must be calculated from the end of the habitation and dwellings, not from one's home. If the journey is 77 kilometres or more from the end of the built-up area, then one becomes a musaafir.
