The 'Asr prayer on the plane before arrival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I traveled by plane, and we took off before the 'Asr prayer. There is no place on the plane to pray, and it will arrive in Riyadh after the sun has set. So, should I pray 'Asr at the airport before the time enters, or should I pray sitting on the plane without facing the qiblah?
Answer:
No, pray on the plane. They will not prevent you; they will provide you with a space to pray in, and they will not stop you from praying on the plane. Do not let the prayer go out of its time, unless this prayer is one that can be combined with the one following it—'Asr with 'Isha' or Maghrib with 'Isha'—in which case you delay it with the second one. All such combining is a delay. But if it is not one that can be combined, then you pray on the plane, and they will not prevent you from doing so. Try to do this and pray according to your condition.
