Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 13982 )
Q: I traveled from the Philippines after the Zuhr prayer, and I combined the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers at the airport. The problem is that the plane headed from east to west, and the sun remained with us for a long time. We arrived at Dhahran Airport at 8:00 PM according to the Kingdom's time, but it was 4:00 AM according to the Philippines' time. I combined the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers that I had missed, but this time differs between this country and the other according to the time zone difference. The question is: Do we pray Maghrib and 'Isha' according to the time of the Philippines or according to the time of the land where we finally landed ? Please issue a ruling for us, may Allah reward you with good.
A: If the matter is as you described, then you pray Maghrib and 'Isha' according to the time of the land where you landed. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
