Calculating salaah time on a plane

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2023-02-12 06:47

Q: I have to travel from Dallas to Dubai, how do I calculate onboard prayer time? Flight is for 15 hours approximately.

A: Your salaah times will be calculated according to the movement of the sun. You will perform your Fajr Salaah before sunrise, Zuhr Salaah after the sun passes the zenith, Asr Salaah before sunset, Maghrib Salaah after sunset and Esha Salaah at any time during the night before the time of subah saadiq. You will work out your salaah in accordance to the place you are in at that time. If you are not sure, you may ask the flight attendants regarding the place and time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
