The Ruling on Prayer on an Airplane
What is the ruling on the validity of the prayer of someone who prays standing facing the Qibla on an airplane?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to pray on the airplane seat for the obligatory prayer if one is unable to pray on the ground with prostration; due to the impossibility of that, and God knows best.
