Voluntary Prayer in a Car While Driving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I go to work and my car is facing the qiblah. Is it valid for me to perform voluntary prayer while I am driving, and I am able to bow with a gesture, so that it does not affect my driving of the car? And in the course of the journey, I deviate from the qiblah. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
This is specific to travel. As for in the city, if you reach the office, pray two rak'ahs, or whatever you want, or before you leave the house, pray two rak'ahs. As for you praying in the car, that is specific to travel, and this is not travel. Yes.
