Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If one prays the obligatory prayer in an airplane or in his car while ignorant, does he repeat his prayer, or is he excused due to ignorance?
Answer:
As for in the car, no, he is not excused due to ignorance; that is, he should stop the car and pray on the ground. As for in the airplane, he cannot do anything other than this; he prays in the airplane according to his ability. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Unless you want to get out of the airplane in mid-air and pray in the sky. Yes.
