Commentary
There is disagreement about whether a traveler can eat and break the fast at home before commencing the journey or not. Imām Abū Ḥanīfah, Mālik, Shāfi'ī, Awzā'ī and the majority hold the opinion that on the day of setting off for journey he should leave fasting and he is not allowed to eat at home at the time of setting off. According to Imām Aḥmad and Iṣḥāq in the light of this Hadīth, he may leave after eating at home, but Imām Ibn Qudāmah explained the view of Imām Aḥmad that the traveler cannot eat before leaving behind the boundary of his town.
