Finding the qiblah
Question
How to offer prayer on a cruise (at sea) if the direction of the Qibla is unknown?
Answer
Use instruments like a compass, etc. to determine the qiblah if there is nobody who knows the direction. Otherwise use your discretion.
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.
