Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) for a person to pray the voluntary prayer while riding, or is the matter one of permissibility?
Answer:
It is the Sunnah to pray on a mount, seizing the good and the virtue, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He would pray the Witr prayer on his camel and did not leave the voluntary prayers. Likewise, in an airplane or a car, one prays in the direction of travel for voluntary prayers.
