Prayer While Flying<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Someone asks about the method of praying while flying and how he could offer prayer<\/a> before its time is out? <\/span><\/p>\n

Answer: <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you.<\/strong> (An-Nisaa’<\/a> 4:101) <\/span>
\n<\/small><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Muhammad Salah comments on the previous verse saying that shortening the prayer was a concession for the traveler. It was allowed during the Prophet’s era when Muslims were afraid to be attacked by the disbelievers while traveling. That concession was extended afterwards since `Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) about shortening prayers during peacetime\u00a0and he said: “This is a favor from Allah Almighty to you, so accept His favor.” (An-Nasa’i) <\/span><\/p>\n

So If one is on a plane, he is allowed to join two prayers at the time of either one. The manner of performing the obligatory prayer in the airplane is to stand facing the qiblah<\/em> (direction of Prayer) and make the Takbir<\/em>. If he is unable to prostrate, he should sit and indicate the prostration while sitting, and if he does not know the qiblah<\/em>, and no one reliable can inform him of it, he should use his judgement and try to ascertain it, then pray according to his judgement.<\/span><\/p>\n
