Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a traveling driver to perform voluntary prayers, given that the driver must be focused on the road?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. It is like a rider on a mount; it is like a rider on a mount. It is valid for him to perform voluntary prayers while driving the car toward the direction he is heading. He should bow and prostrate in a manner that does not interfere with driving. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

In voluntary prayers, but not in obligatory prayers. No, he must get off the vehicle, pray on the ground, and face the qiblah. The obligatory prayer is performed on the ground, whereas for voluntary prayers, it is permissible for him to pray in the car. No,
