Musafir is a traveler, but after covering how much distance is a person called Musafir? I've been searching for this everywhere but the distance varies everywhere.

I think one important thing is missing a mussafir is not back home on the same day! – Medi1Saif Jul 21 '21 at 10:30

A musafir is the one who is travelling in a distance that is equal or exceeds two marhalah (apprx. 86 ~ 90 km) in one way direction.
If lets say a town is 45km and he travelled forth and back, which is 90km, that cannot be considered as a musafir.
If you are talking about the rukhsah on the Salaah (for example shortening zhuhr and asr from 4rakaat to 2 rakaat) a person must be musafir and the purposes of the journey must not something that is sinful.
