Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman became pure from her menstruation while she was on an airplane traveling, and she wants to pray. Is it sufficient for her to perform wudu'?
Answer:
No, she should wait until she gets off the airplane, then she should perform ghusl and pray. Yes.
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about irregular non-menstrual bleeding.
Answer:
And if she fears that the time for prayer will end before the plane lands and the flight is long, she should perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) with the dust she has and pray if there is dust with which she can perform tayammum. And if she has no dust and the flight is long, she should pray according to her condition, even if she does not perform ritual purity. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Yes.
