Making up missed prayers for one who missed them on an airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that he was traveling by plane and was in a state of major ritual impurity, but he did not find anything with which to perform dry ablution. He missed the midday, afternoon, and sunset prayers. When he arrived in al-Madinah, he performed the full ritual bath to remove the major ritual impurity. He then caught up with the night prayer in congregation, but he forgot to make up the missed prayers. A period of time passed, and he says that days passed until he remembered them. He asks: What must he do?
Answer:
He must make them up. It is necessary for him to make them up. Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it should pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
