Salah on the Plane

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by IslamicPortal.co.uk

Should the Ṣalāh that is performed on the plane be repeated?

Answer

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

If a person who is able to perform Qiyām performs the Ṣalāh on the plane standing as he normally perform Ṣalāh, the Ṣalāḥ does not need to be repeated. Every effort should be made to perform Ṣalāh on the plane. If however this is not possible, Ṣalāḥ should be performed on the seat and repeated on arrival.

قال ابن نجیم في البحر الرائق (۱: ۱٤۹): العذر إن كان من قبل الله تعالی لا تجب الإعادة، وإن كان من قبل العبد وجبت الإعادة، وقال (۲: ۱۲٤): وفي التجنیس: قال أبو حنیفة في متوضیٔ لا یقدر علی مكان طاهر وقد حضرت الصلاة صلی بالإیماء ثم یعید ما صلی بالإیماء قضاء لحق الوقت بالتشبه، وإنما یعید لأن العذر جاء من قبل العبد، وراجع النهر الفائق (۱: ۱۰۰) ورد المحتار (۲: ۱۰۰) والفتاوی الهندیة (۱: ۲۸) وفتاوی محمودیه (۱۱: ٦۱٥)۔
