Описание: Performing Salah while traveling can be challenging, especially on airplanes where space is limited, the Qibla may be behind you, and flight attendants may not allow passengers to stand. In this video, we explore a detailed Islamic ruling on how to correctly pray on a plane when you're unable to stand, face the Qibla, or move freely around the cabin.

Many Muslims worry their prayer will be invalid if they cannot perform the pillars of Salah properly during air travel. This video breaks down the rulings step by step:

Is standing mandatory when praying in an airplane seat?

What if flight attendants prohibit standing due to safety regulations?
