Question:
I am a man who has a mission in a certain area, and the nature of the work involves photographing some areas from an airplane. The work lasts for one month, starting at ten in the morning. What is the ruling? He says: May Allah reward you. I am a man who has a mission in one of the areas, and the nature of the work involves photographing some areas from an airplane. The work lasts for one month, starting at ten in the morning for four hours. The question is: Do I pray the midday prayer on the airplane, or do I pray it with the afternoon prayer when the work ends, combining and shortening? And what is your guidance for us?
Answer:
Yes, if you land at the time of the second prayer, at the time of the second prayer, your prayer is [valid]. The second prayer. You have preserved the first one. Do not pray it with you; this is a final combination. If the time for the first prayer enters while you are in the airplane, and the airplane ends at the time of the second prayer, such as the afternoon prayer and the night prayer, then you delay the first one, which is the midday and sunset prayers, and pray them with the second one as a combination of delay if you land. However, if the time for the first prayer enters before you board the airplane, then you combine as a combination of advance, praying the prayer whose time has entered, which is the first prayer, then you advance the prayer that follows it, and pray them as a combination of advance, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do in his travels. He used to, if the time for the first prayer entered before he departed, pray the midday prayer, advance the afternoon prayer, and pray them combined, then he would mount. And if the time for the midday prayer or the time for the sunset prayer entered while he was traveling, he would delay the first one and pray it with the second one if he landed at the time of the second prayer.
