Standing and performing Salaah in a bus or train

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If a person is standing and performing Salaah in a bus or train, does he have to face the qiblah in the beginning only or for the full duration of the Salaah? If the bus moves away from the qiblah what should he do?

Bismillaah

A: He should face the qiblah for the full duration of the salaah.

He must turn in the salaah towards the qiblah.

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

يتنفل المقيم ( راكبا خارج المصر ) محل القصر

و قال في رد المحتار : قوله ( ويتنفل المقيم راكبا الخ ) أي بلا عذر أطلق النفل فشمل السنن المؤكدة إلا سنة الفجر كما مر وأشار بذكر المقيم إلى أن المسافر كذلك بالأولى واحترز بالنفل عن الفرض والواجب بأنواعه كالوتر والمنذور وما لزم بالشروع والإفساد وصلاة الجنازة وسجدة تليت على الأرض فلا يجوز على الدابة بلا عذر لعدم الحرج كما في البحر (رد المحتار 2/38)
