Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I board the train at 2:00 PM and do not arrive in Riyadh until 5:20 PM. The question is: Do I pray the 'Asr prayer in the train, or do I wait until I arrive in Riyadh?
Answer:
If you arrive in Riyadh before the sun sets, you delay it. If you are unable to pray in the train—the train has carriages with space for prayer, as they resemble home rooms—you pray in the train, my brother. And if it happens that you are unable to pray in the train and you expect to arrive in Riyadh before the sun sets, pray when you arrive, because the time is still remaining. Yes.
