Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it better for the traveler to pray the obligatory prayer in its time while sitting on the plane, or is it better for him to delay and combine, so he prays?
Answer:
If the time ends before the plane lands, he prays on the plane as best as he can. If the time does not end, he lands at the end of the time and delays the prayer until he lands. If this prayer is one that is combined with the one after it, he also intends to combine. If he lands, the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
