The obligatory prayer on an airplane when one is unable to stand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: One time, the time for the Fajr prayer caught up with us while we were on an airplane, and we were unable to pray standing. The time for the prayer was about to end, so we prayed in congregation in a single row.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Standing is excused when one is unable to do so. This is a case of inability. Fear Allah as much as you are able.
