Prayer: Does seeing or hearing one’s watan after departure affect the shar‘ī travel distance?

English:

Question #656:

After leaving his watan, a traveler passes by a place where he can hear the adhān of his watan or see the walls of its houses, will it affect the distance covered?

Answer #656:

This does not harm the distance covered as long as he does not pass through his watan itself and his journey is not discontinued by it. But the traveler’s rule does not apply to him while he is at this very place.
