Performing Salaah on the plane
Question
With regard to travelling on the plane and the time of Salaah setting in particularly Maghrib. Often there is a clash between time of Salaah and the passengers busy seating themselves making it difficult to go to a space and perform Salaah. Otherwise the direction of qibla may be difficult to face.
Lastly is it permissible in such circumstances for a person who is completely fit to sit and perform Salaah in his/her seat?
Answer
Once the plane has settled you may get up and perform your namaaz.
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
