The obligatory prayer in a car for a female traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh. A woman prayed the obligatory prayer in a car while she was traveling. Her husband refused the time, so she was delayed. Is her prayer valid?
The Shaykh:
Meaning, she did not stop to pray, and the entire time passed.
The questioner:
She prayed, yes, her obligatory prayer, may Allah have mercy on him.
The Shaykh:
The time for prayer had passed; because she was a seller, the car stopped or she stopped. This is correct. The prayer is according to her condition, whether in a car or in any place, but she must not let the time pass.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. She does not repeat it, and there is nothing required of her.
The Shaykh:
If you are in the obligatory prayer, you must get off the vehicle. You do not pray on a mount. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stop the camel during the night, get down, and pray the obligatory prayer on the ground. One only prays on the mount for voluntary prayers.
The questioner:
Authentic, authentic.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the condition for this is that she was with it until she feared the time would pass.
