Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on praying while sitting when I am on an airplane and do not have a prayer space?

Answer:
Pray according to your condition. If you are unable to stand and cannot find a place on the airplane to pray, pray on the seat to the best of your ability
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
