1. Is it permissible to use a Flight Simulator, 2. While Taking Off/Landing, are there any du'aas that can be read?
Question
The reason why I need this help is because I'll be taking flying lessons soon. 1. Is it permissible to use a Flight Simulator, which is a professional edition (Classed as a game, but one that costs £80) to practice? This involves getting used to things, such as GPS, Air traffic communications, realism effects. 2. While Taking Off/Landing, are there any du'aas that can be read?
Answer
1. It is permissible. Is there any specific doubt you have?
2. Read the Duas for starting and completing a journey. Also when ascending recite ?Allahu Akbar? in abundance, and when descending recite ?Subhaanallah? in abundance.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
