The ruling on praying in a bus without wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Yasin says: Honorable Shaykh, I prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' in the bus without wudu' because I was compelled to do so. Is that permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible. At the very least, you must perform tayammum if you fear using water due to the severe cold and you do not have anything to heat it up and warm yourself with, such that you fear for your safety. In that case, you perform tayammum with dust: you strike the ground with your hands, then wipe your face and your palms with them. Yes. And if you are in a bus and they do not stop for fear of missing the time, if he gets off, he prays; if he gets off, he prays.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
