Praying on a Cruise: Navigating Qibla Direction Uncertainty

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: How to offer prayer on a cruise (at sea) if the direction of the Qibla is unknown?

Bismillaah

A: Use instruments like a compass, etc. to determine the qiblah if there is nobody who knows the direction. Otherwise use your discretion.

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