Does the one who prays Zuhr and 'Asr in his country, then travels to America and finds it is still daytime there, repeat his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is known that we fly to America by plane, meaning that is their system, so the day continues for us, meaning the night does not come. So should I pray Zuhr and 'Asr combined early or combined late, so that Maghrib and 'Isha' do not come upon me, and the time returns to Zuhr and 'Asr a second time, so I pray the prayer at its time, meaning Zuhr and 'Asr, and Maghrib and 'Isha' drop off for me? Or is there another solution?
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 579Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) So as long as you have prayed your obligatory prayer at its prescribed time, your Zuhr and 'Asr, then what you pray there in America at the time of Zuhr and 'Asr is Zuhr and 'Asr.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Rather, it is upon you to follow the timings of the country in which you are...
The questioner : Do I follow the clock?
The Shaykh : No, what do you want with your clock? Your clock is Jordanian; you want to look at the local timing of the place where you have arrived.
The questioner : Does that mean the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers of my country drop off for me?
The Shaykh : Nothing has dropped off for you, may Allah guide you. What dropped off for you is the Zuhr and 'Asr that you prayed in your country; because when you want to continue your journey on the plane and you see the time of Zuhr and 'Asr, the time of Maghrib and 'Isha' will come.
The questioner : Now I understand, now I understand.
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not say a prayer twice in a day.
لا صلاة في يوم مرتينThe questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Rather, it is upon you to follow the timings of the country in which you are...
The questioner : Do I follow the clock?
The Shaykh : No, what do you want with your clock? Your clock is Jordanian; you want to look at the local timing of the place where you have arrived.
The questioner : Does that mean the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers of my country drop off for me?
The Shaykh : Nothing has dropped off for you, may Allah guide you. What dropped off for you is the Zuhr and 'Asr that you prayed in your country; because when you want to continue your journey on the plane and you see the time of Zuhr and 'Asr, the time of Maghrib and 'Isha' will come.
The questioner : Now I understand, now I understand.
