Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was traveling in Ramadan with three of my brothers, and we all prayed the night prayer in the car. The driver was the imam, one person was on his right, and two were behind him. He says: I was traveling in Ramadan with three of my brothers, and we all prayed the night prayer in the car. The driver was the imam, one person was on his right, and two were behind him. We did this so that we would not disturb one another. Is what we did correct?

Answer:
Regarding the voluntary prayer on a mount or in a vehicle, if praying on the ground would hinder the journey, there is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray voluntary prayers on his mount, wherever it took him (peace and blessings be upon him). So if this is the case with the voluntary prayer, let it be. Yes.
