How to Pray on an Airplane When the Direction of the Qiblah Is Unknown

Question:
He says: If I am on an airplane and the prayer becomes obligatory, and I do not know the direction of the qiblah, how should I pray? And if I see that I will arrive before the next obligatory prayer, what is required of me?

Answer:
If you do not know the qiblah on the airplane, ask the Muslims with you and ask the pilots; they will guide you to the qiblah, if Allah wills. So you must ask about the qiblah. If the time for this prayer ends on the airplane before landing, and it can be combined with the prayer that follows it, then you intend to combine them by delaying. If the airplane or the flight ends at the time of 'Asr, or if it ends at the time of 'Isha', then when you land, you pray combined and shortened: combining Zuhr and 'Asr, and combining Maghrib and 'Isha', as a delayed combination. However, if the flight is short, or if this prayer is not combined with the one that follows it, such as the Fajr prayer, then you pray according to your situation and your ability. Allah the Exalted said: Yes.
