Joining maghrib and esha salaah before boarding a flight

· 16 Shawwal 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can one read his maghrib and esha salaah in the time of maghrib before boarding the aeroplane considering that it is quite difficult for one to read his esha salaah on the aeroplane especially when there is no salaah facility on the plane?

Answer

Both namaaz must be read in their fixed 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.”
