The beginning of the rulings for the traveler by airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is known that a traveler begins with the rulings of travel when he leaves the buildings in his town. This is for the traveler by land, so what about the conditions of the traveler in the air?
Answer:
If the airport is outside the town, he may pray and take the dispensations of travel to the airport if it is outside the buildings. But if the airport is inside the buildings, he does not take the rulings of travel; he completes the prayer and continues fasting until the plane takes off. Once the plane takes off and leaves the town's perimeter, the dispensations of travel begin to apply to him. Yes.
