What is the ruling on voluntary prayer for the driver of a car while he is traveling?
The Shaykh:
The driver of the car. He has to watch the road and keep an eye out. I am afraid that he prays and something happens, and the car goes off the road, or I do not know about the prayer of the car driver, because as for the passengers, there is no harm; the passengers pray while they are in the car, the Tahajjud prayer, but I am afraid that the passenger gets distracted by the prayer and then an accident happens to him. Yes.
