Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman prayed the obligatory prayer in an airplane because she feared that the time for it would end, but she prayed while seated because there were men next to her. What is the ruling on her prayer?
The Shaykh:
If the airplane is delayed and does not land until after the time has passed, she prays in the airplane according to her condition, and the time does not pass. She prays according to her condition, in the seat, standing or sitting, as she is able. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
