✅ Answer: Pay attention to the following narrations:

1⃣عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: إِذَا خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مُسَافِراً أَفْطَرَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ مَعَهُ النَّاسُ وَ فِيهِمُ الْمُشَاةُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى كُرَاعِ الْغَمِيمِ دَعَا بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ فَشَرِبَهُ وَ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ أَفْطَرَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: When a person sets out on a journey during Ramadan, he may break his fast. He said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, set out from Medina toward Mecca during Ramadan, accompanied by people, including those on foot. When they reached Kura’ Ghamim (a place between Mecca and Medina), between noon and afternoon, he asked for a container of water, drank it, and broke his fast. Then the people with him also broke their fast!

2⃣قَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَیُّمَا رَجُلٍ کَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ وَ حَالَ عَلَیْهِ الْحَوْلُ فَإِنَّهُ یُزَکِّیهِ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنْ هُوَ وَهَبَهُ قَبْلَ حَلِّهِ بِشَهْرٍ أَوْ بِیَوْمٍ قَالَ لَیْسَ عَلَیْهِ شَیْ ءٌ أَبَداً قَالَ وَ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا هَذَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَجُلٍ أَفْطَرَ فِی شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ یَوْماً فِی إِقَامَتِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فِی آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فِی سَفَرٍ فَأَرَادَ بِسَفَرِهِ ذَلِکَ إِبْطَالَ الْکَفَّارَةِ الَّتِی وَجَبَتْ عَلَیْهِ.....

Zurara, Muhammad, and Muslim say: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: Whoever owns wealth upon which a year has passed must pay its zakat. I said: What if he gifts it a month or a day before its due time? He said: Nothing is ever incumbent upon him!

And Zurara narrated from him that he said: This is like someone who breaks his fast during a day of his residence in Ramadan and then sets out on a journey at the end of the day, intending to nullify the expiation that became obligatory upon him!

He said: When he sees the crescent of the twelfth month, zakat becomes obligatory upon him, but if he gifts it before that, it is permissible, and nothing is incumbent upon him, just like someone who travels and then breaks his fast...

✅ Based on the above narrations and others, a person does not have the right to break their fast in Ramadan while still residing in their hometown, even if they intend to travel that same morning.

✅ The permitted time for breaking the fast is the well-known limit called the 'distance of permissibility' (hadd al-tarakkhus), the narrations of which can be found in the link below:

✅ Therefore, a traveler who intentionally breaks their fast while still in their hometown is obligated to make up the fast (qada) and pay expiation (kaffara).

✅ However, if the person was ignorant of this ruling and broke their fast, based on the principle below, they are not liable for expiation and only need to make up the fast:

3⃣عَنْ عَبْدالصَّمَدِ بْنِ بَشِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه فِی حَدِیثٍ مَنْ أَحْرَمَ فِی قَمِیصِهِ إِلَی أَنْ قَالَ أَیُّ رَجُلٍ رَکِبَ أَمْراً بِجَهَالَةٍ فَلَا شَیْءَ عَلَیْهِ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 5, p. 72

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said in a narration: Whoever does something out of ignorance has no obligation upon him!
