Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is traveling and the time for prayer enters while he is in an airplane or a car, and the driver does not want to stop, does he pray in the car if he fears the time will end?
Answer:
If the prayer is combined with the one following it, such as Zuhr with 'Asr or Maghrib with 'Isha', he delays the first and prays it with the second as a combination of delay, if he stops or the vehicle halts, he prays them both as a combination of delay; this is what the Shari'ah has prescribed. If the time for the first prayer enters before he travels, he advances and prays the prayer of advancement, praying the current prayer and the last prayer with it as a combination of advancement before he departs. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do in his travels. Yes.
