The Ruling on Combining Prayers for a Traveler Before Departure and Praying on an Airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have decided to travel, if Allah wills. The departure time is before the 'Isha' prayer, and my arrival will be after the Zuhr prayer, or after the Fajr prayer, in the other country. He asks: Is it permissible for me to combine with the Maghrib prayer?
Answer:
As long as you are in the country and have not yet traveled, you do not combine. But you pray on the airplane: you pray the prayer that is due in the country and the prayer that comes due while you are on the airplane. If the flight continues until the time for that prayer ends, you pray it on the airplane according to your situation. Yes.
