I will be taking a flight overseas (Canada to Pakistan)and I want to know how to pray my salat. There will be a few stop-overs, but the flight will be 16 hours in total. Jazakallah khair.
If any Salaat time approaches during the flying time, that Salaat should be
performed on the plane. You should inform the flight attendants of your
religious obligation and request them to facilitate for you by arranging an
isolated corner to perform your Salaat. In our experiences of traveling by
plane, we have observed that flight attendants of all flights are very
accommodating. However, due to their responsibilities, we should co-operate
with them as well.
You should calculate the Salaat times during your travel and every Salaat
should be performed timeously. If there will be a few stop-overs and if the
passengers are not required to be on board the plane, then you should
perform the Salaat of that time in the transition lounge of the airport.
