Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a traveler flies by plane in the direction of the west, and the day becomes longer than twenty-four hours, does he pray according to the sun, or does he estimate, or what does he do?
Answer:
He follows the sun if he boarded before sunset. If he prayed Maghrib before sunset, before the airport, then praise be to Allah. If the sun sets while he is on the plane, he follows the sun. So when the sun disappears from his view on the plane, they pray Maghrib. Yes.
