Question

From what point does a musaafir calculate the start of his journey? For example, I live in London and if I travel to a distant northern city from which point do I become a traveller? The distance from my home to the edge of North London is approx 25 miles. And the distance to the border of my local area is approx 200 feet.

Answer

You will start counting the distance from the place where the residential area and related matters end up.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
