The Ruling on Praying on an Airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The third question. If the time for prayer arrives while I am on an airplane on a journey of more than twelve hours, which is better: should I pray on the airplane, or wait until I arrive? May Allah bless you and your knowledge, O Shaykh (may Allah preserve him)?
Answer:
If the time for prayer ends before you arrive, you pray it on the airplane to the best of your ability. However, if the time does not end and you arrive in the country at the very end of the time, you may pray it when you land at the end of the time; there is no harm in that. Yes.
