Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">The Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when traveling on his vehicle (camel, horses, etc.) was that he would pray his <em>nafl<\/em> or voluntary prayers while sitting on the moving vehicle; but if it was time for the obligatory prayers, he would dismount from his vehicle and offer his obligatory prayers on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">There is absolutely no harm if one wishes to offer his\/her voluntary (Sunnah, nafl) prayers while in the vehicle of travel. The majority of the scholars in Islam are of the opinion that if one is riding or driving a vehicle which is under ones control (horse, camel, car, etc.), and the time of the obligatory prayer is due; one should alight from the vehicle and offer the obligatory prayers on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Watch this interesting talk with Dr. Muhammad Salah to learn more about the ruling of praying in car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Huda Youtube Channel.\u00a0<\/em><a href='https:\/\/prayerinislam.com\/what-is-the-ruling-of-praying-in-car-without-facing-the-qiblah\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Ruling of Praying in Car Without Facing the Qiblah?
