The time of the Fajr prayer for one who travels to America by plane

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
So that you can see. Is there a question, brothers? Please. Is there a question, brothers?

The Shaykh:
Peace.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the question from the brother just now: if he prayed 'Isha' in Riyadh and took off at one o’clock, yes, an airplane that takes thirteen hours. Our colleague asks, saying that he does not pray after this 'Isha', after the 'Isha' prayer, except the Fajr prayer in America. Yes, but in the air he does not pray Dhuhr, 'Asr, or Maghrib.

The Shaykh:
Or he reached the time of 'Asr prayer.

The questioner:
He, he actually.

The Shaykh:
He reached the time of 'Asr prayer.

The questioner:
No, he arrived in America, and the time he arrived in America was the time for the Fajr prayer.

The Shaykh:
The time for the Fajr prayer, if only Fajr passed for him, because he flew alone from the night here, and the night continued with him, because he is following the night.

The questioner:
Yes, this is the matter.

The Shaykh:
If the dawn appears to him while he is on the airplane, he prays Fajr. If it appears, he prays. If he lands at the airport, because only one prayer passed for him,

The questioner:
The travel to America is at night, meaning flights are usually at night.

The Shaykh:
At night, and he is following the night, because he is traveling west, so he is still in the night. Yes.
