The Ruling on Praying on a Mount or in a Ship

Question:
Among his questions, Honorable Shaykh, he says: Regarding his prayer on a mount or on a beast of burden, if it is facing a direction other than the qiblah, how is it performed? And is the prayer also permissible?

Answer:
Or on a riding animal or a car. This applies to the voluntary prayer. This is for the voluntary prayer, the night prayer. If he wants to pray the night prayer, he prays it on his mount, facing whatever direction he is facing, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. As for the obligatory prayer, he prays on the ground. He prays on his mount, he prays on the ground, except in a state of severe fear, , and also in the case of rain falling, the wetness, when the ground is muddy and the sky is sending down rain. When the time for prayer comes, pray on your mounts, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did. And if there is no rain, no mud, and no excuse as mentioned in the hadith, then the prayer, the obligatory prayer, is not prayed on the mount. And as for prayer in a ship at sea, it is like prayer in a house. The ship is a house, a room in which one prays, and it is better to face the qiblah.
