Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some airplanes, there is a prayer area that can accommodate a number of worshippers. Is it better for travelers to pray in it despite a slight deviation from the qiblah, or should they delay it until they can pray?
Answer:
No, if there is a prayer area that can accommodate them, they should pray and face the qiblah. They should ask about the qiblah, asking those who know it or the navigators, and they should turn toward it.
