Prayer on the surface of heavy equipment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, 'Abd al-Salam al-Yamani from Yemen, says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I reside in the Kingdom and work as a heavy equipment driver. Sometimes we work in places not suitable for prayer, such as streets, because of the dust and similar things, so I am forced to pray on the surface of the equipment. Is that permissible for me? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is not befitting for you; this is an unnecessary burden. Rather, you may pray on the surfaces of the equipment or on the ground; all of it is permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
