The ruling on breaking the fast at home for one who intends to travel

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, if one intends to travel, is he entitled to break his fast in his home?

Answer:
No, as we have previously indicated, he does not break his fast until he leaves the town. If he is fasting, he does not begin breaking the fast until he leaves the town, just as with shortening the prayer; he does not begin shortening it until he leaves the town. As long as he is in the town or in his home, he follows the rulings of residents: he completes the prayer, and he begins fasting if he encounters the pre-dawn meal while in his home, he begins fasting. Yes.
