Praying on a bus and combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was on a bus, and the time for the Maghrib prayer was about to end, but the driver did not stop for us to perform the prayer, so we prayed on the bus as best we could. Is what we did valid? And are we permitted to combine Maghrib with 'Isha' for this reason?
Answer:
If the time for Maghrib entered before you boarded the bus, then combine the prayers. If the time for Maghrib had not entered and it entered while you were on the bus, delay it until 'Isha' and pray it when you get off, combining them by delay. If neither of these is possible, pray even on the bus, but face the qiblah, because you are able to face the qiblah while on the bus. Yes.
