Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – How to Pray on a Plane and How to Pray Sitting Down on a Chair

How to Pray during the flight. I'll just go over that quickly,

because that's not easy to find a room, the way you pray in a flight

is timing wise, you go by the time that you are experiencing at that

point. So you don't go with your timetable from here. And now that

you consider the timetable of your destination. So now this is

whether you're going from Russia or anywhere else, whatever you see

outside the window, that is what you have to do. So if you see sun

setting outside a window, it's your Maghrib time. So if you're

going towards Arabia, you're going to be going into time, so it's

going to be much quicker, right? Because things because the earlier

than us, so it's just going to be much quicker. If you're going

west, it's going to just take longer, like you could go from

here at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and get to after seven

after an 11 hour flight. You can get to California, and it'll still

be three o'clock in the afternoon. Right? So you know, you're just

like three hours, but really going the other way. It goes much

farther faster. So if you see it's done outside, you'd have to

prefer.

Right. So that's the way you do it. Now, how would you pray?

Normally? I think Saudi Arabian Airlines, Saudi airlines, they

have a little place for prayer as far as I know. Right. But other

airlines, they don't have a place for prayer generally. So how do

you pray, if it's a large flight, one of those big jumbles, they

will normally have a lot of galley space at the back or in the

middle, where they do the food and things like that. And if it's not

mealtimes, then normally they find about you people going there and

putting their blanket down and praying on there. So Kybella is

very easy to work out nowadays, in these flight entertainment

systems, they have directions, they have a map and shows you so

you just work out where Saudi Arabia is, and you face in that

direction. And you pray that if you are going to a Middle Eastern

country, generally, you're probably going to be flying

towards the Kibler anyway. Generally, if you're going any

Middle Eastern flight airlines, Jordan,

Gulf

Emirates, then you're generally going to be flying in that same

direction. But just check on the map. It's not difficult. And if

you can't work it out, as somebody, they're very helpful

I've had on United Airlines, I've had them come and wake me up for

the next Salaat. Because I told them, and they walked out, they

asked the captain what we was given, and this was like long time

ago, 20 years ago, right from that time, and then they're quite

useful. They're quite, they're quite helpful.

Now, if you can stand and pray, it's not mealtime and so on, then

stand and pray. It's about what favors flight nominee to the

Middle East from here. So it's not that long. So sometimes there's

not that much time, if it's a smaller flight or whatever, if you

cannot find a place to stand and pray. Now, it's going to be a

hedge flight. So most likely is gonna be lots of hedges. And you

don't need to feel uncomfortable that you're the only one or one

out, right. But what you do is, if you cannot stand and pray, then

you sit and pray in your seat, and you could then pray in any

direction is going because you missed the father of standing, you

could sit and pray in any direction that the flight is going

on. But then you have to repeat it. The masala here the ruling

here is that if you are prevented from doing a father of the salaat,

what the standing is, is an integral part of the Salah. If

you're prevented from that by others, then you just do it and

then you repeat it afterwards when you get on land.

If you're prevented through natural reasons, like had like

feeling dizzy, like in a ship or something, then you don't even

have to repeat it. Right because that is not an influence from

others. It's it's from up there. Right. So you sit and pray and

then you just repeat it afterwards. And you obviously you

will be a Mustafa. So you read to and you don't have to do your

standards if you don't want to. However, when you are sitting in

your flight,

the province of Allah Azza mula Hadith very clearly mentioned that

when Rosa lorrison was outside the city, he would sit on his animal,

and he would make knuffel prayer in whichever direction that animal

was facing, even if it was not towards the Kaaba, that is

permissible, wherever you are, as long as you're outside your city

limits. You can pray Knuffle prayers, sitting down with

gestures, right with gestures. And

I'd like to explain that when you sit and pray in your seat, you

don't have to move your back at all. This is where most people are

confused is how to do your record. And such is

the way to do your record such that that's where lots of people

are confused when you're sitting and if you're not doing such

though, on the ground on the floor, right? Then you literally

just sit, you read what you have to then you bow your head slightly

for Roku and you buy more for such

while you're sitting down. You don't have to go in the front seat

and bang, you know and go towards the front. You don't have to do

that.

Right. The only time you do

record like that is when you are going to do a search, then you're

sitting down and pray. Then you'd go down for record as much as

possible you get back up and then you go into such that because

you're going to do a proper search though. But when you can't do a

proper search, are you sitting in your seat? This is even when

you're sitting praying on a chair, when you see people, you see all

sorts of things, right that people are doing in the masjid, you just

have to really move in your head. Because it says EMA you might

means to gesture with your head.

In henna is where you have to bow down in Arabic. So that's the way

to pray in the in the plane. So when you got time and you're just

sitting then you have all do then just pray like that.

Pray nothing press sitting down. Whichever direction you're in is

the Sunnah of Rasulullah selasa at least do it once in your life if

you can
