Performing salaah in a plane

· 18 Jumada II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I travel a lot across countries and most of the time I perform my prayers in a plane. What is the correct way of praying while in a plane and what timings do I follow?

Answer

You should perform the fardh and witr namaaz standing, facing the qiblah and at the time of the salaah according to the location you are in at that time.

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.”
