Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: From where is the distance for shortening calculated? Is it from the house or from leaving the town?
Answer:
From the buildings. Once he leaves the buildings of the town, the inhabited area of the town, the distance for shortening begins. As long as he is in the town, it does not, because he has not yet traveled until he leaves the town.
