How is the prayer performed on a boat at sea?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks: We work in sea fishing; we go out in the morning and return in the evening. Honorable Shaykh, how is the prayer performed on the boat?

Answer:
If the boat is spacious and you are able to stand, bow, and prostrate, then it is like a room; you pray the prayer in its usual manner, with standing, bowing, and prostrating. However, if the boat is narrow, or if the waves toss you around and you are unable to stand, you pray it while sitting on the boat. Yes.
