Ruling on Praying in the Car Without Facing the Qibla

Question
Is it permissible to pray in the car even without facing the Qibla?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The obligatory prayer is not valid in the car; because its conditions are standing, prostration, and facing the Qibla. It is necessary to get out, face the Qibla, and pray. If you do not know the direction of the Qibla and there is no one to ask, you should make an effort to determine it, and God knows best.
