Question
From which point is the 77 km (48 miles) distance for a musaafir calculated? From his house or from the boundary of the town?
Answer
The safar distance should be counted from the end of the town from the side one is exiting, that is, from where the buildings end. If there is no 'end' of the built-up area due to the buildings of one town adjoining the next town, then the distance will begin from the boundary of the town.
