Salaah on an aeroplane

· 24 Shawwal 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

1. Is it necessary for me to repeat my salah that I prayed on an aeroplane?

2. If yes, then can I always sit and pray my salah in an aeroplane?

Answer

1. If you performed the Salaah in the normal manner (i.e. while standing and performing all the postures on the ground), then you do not have to repeat the Salaah. However if you sat on your seat and performed the Salaah, then you should repeat your Salaah.

2. As above.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

How do I pray on a plane, ship or train?

“Performing fard salaah on the plane seat is not valid for the person who has the ability to stand and perform salaah. Hence, the salaah performed on the plane seat was not valid and one's fard did not take place.”
