The ruling on praying while seated on an airplane when standing is not possible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I traveled by airplane and did not find a place to pray, so I prayed in front of my seat. I would stand when reciting, then sit on the chair to prostrate with a gesture. I could have prayed in the aisle with bowing and prostration, but I feared that I would obstruct the passengers passing through that aisle. His question is: Do I have to repeat the prayer?
Answer:
You do not have to repeat the prayer. You did what you were able to, and praise be to Allah. Fear Allah as much as you are able, and may Allah reward you with good. Yes.
