Fatwaa.net - Fatawa | I traveled to America by plane and prayed Dhuhr and Asr on the airplane, and I waited for sunset, but it did not set, so I only prayed when I arrived, and I made it up. What is the ruling on that? In this case, should I adhere to the prayer times of my country of departure, the country I am traveling to, or the country I am over while on the plane?

Prayer Times on the Airplane

Question

I traveled to America by plane and prayed Dhuhr and Asr on the airplane, and I waited for sunset, but it did not set, so I only prayed when I arrived, and I made it up. What is the ruling on that? In this case, should I adhere to the prayer times of my country of departure, the country I am traveling to, or the country I am over while on the plane?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: The country where the plane is located is considered, so prayer and its timing are obligatory based on that, and you should consider the obligation of prayer while traveling, and God knows best.
