What is the ruling concerning a person who was performing Umrah during Ramadan and broke their fast on the day of their journey from Mecca to Jeddah, believing that it is permissible for a traveler to break their fast, but then learned that the distance is no longer considered a journey? Is expiation obligatory upon them? And is the concession permissible for them based on their intention?

It is legislated for the traveler to shorten prayers and break the fast once he leaves the boundaries of his place of residence. It is permissible to break the fast upon passing the houses of Mecca. Even if the distance between Mecca and Jeddah does not reach the distance for shortening prayers, a traveler by air from Jeddah airport will cover more than the distance for shortening prayers. If one broke the fast before passing the houses of Mecca out of ignorance, there is no sin or expiation, but one must make up that day.
