Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The third condition is that one not be performing a voluntary prayer while traveling.
If one is performing a voluntary prayer while traveling, he prays in the direction he is facing, and it is not obligatory for him to face the qiblah.
Based on this, if you are in a car and you want to perform a voluntary prayer, you may pray in the direction you are facing, and there is no blame on you.
Now, does this voluntary prayer apply to the passengers and the driver? Or only to the passengers?
It applies to all of them, except that the driver fears that if he is occupied with prayer, he may neglect the obligation of attention in driving, thereby exposing himself and those with him to danger.
