Determining the Qiblah Direction Inside an Airplane

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh: What are the guidelines for determining the Qiblah direction if you are on an airplane and the flight lasts for many hours? Do I pray according to my own judgment?

Answer:
Ask the pilots and the flight attendants about the direction of the Qiblah, and also ask the Muslim passengers on board, and you will find, if Allah wills, the direction of the Qiblah. Yes.
