Is it permissible for a traveler to break their fast when traveling a distance of 80 kilometers or slightly more within the same country by modern means of transportation such as a car?
The shortest distance that permits the traveler's concessions, such as breaking the fast, shortening prayers, and combining them, is four "burud" (plural of "burd"), which is sixteen "farsakhs". This is currently estimated at approximately eighty-three kilometers. It is permissible for anyone who travels this distance to avail themselves of these concessions, regardless of whether the means of travel are modern or ancient, and whether the journey is within the country or abroad. This distance is calculated from the point where one leaves the built-up area of the city.
