Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. A man is going to travel from Riyadh to America at one o'clock. How does he determine the time for the Fajr prayer?
The Shaykh : What about it?
The questioner : How does he determine the time for the Fajr prayer?
The Shaykh : One o'clock at night, or during the day?
The questioner : At night.
The Shaykh : Fine. He proceeds, and when the Fajr time enters, he prays, even if the period between 'Isha' and Fajr is long. This is because if he is traveling westward, the period will be long. The important point is that he is not required to pray until the Fajr time enters. So, if the flight attendant announces that the Fajr time has entered, he prays. Yes.
